Canopy Cover Estimation

Canopy Cover Estimation is a remote sensing-based metric that quantifies the proportion of ground area covered by the vertical projection of plant foliage in a given agricultural field, distinguishing it from other vegetation indices by directly measuring the spatial extent of canopy closure rather than spectral reflectance or biomass proxies.
