DEA Fractional Cover (Landsat)

Geoscience Australia Landsat Fractional Cover Collection 3


Fractional Cover (FC), developed by the Joint Remote Sensing Research Program, is a measurement that splits the landscape into three parts, or fractions:


green (leaves, grass, and growing crops)


brown (branches, dry grass or hay, and dead leaf litter)


bare ground (soil or rock)


DEA uses Fractional Cover to characterise every 30 m square of Australia for any point in time from 1987 to today.
