Vegetation studies helps to develop a profile on extensive areas affected by vegetation changes. Image processing techniques does manipulation of digital images for various applications. The satellite image processing is increasingly used for vegetation mapping. Now a day‟s both multi spectral sensors and hyper spectral sensors are used for vegetation monitoring.
