Short summary
Our research aimed to provide reliable data for measuring fractional vegetation cover, essential for understanding climate patterns and ecological health. We used the MultiVI algorithm, which employs satellite images from various angles to enhance accuracy. Our method outperformed traditional statistical methods compared to field measurements, enabling precise large-scale mapping of vegetation cover for improved environmental monitoring and planning.
