Both satellite remote sensing and ground measurements are common methods for estimating FVC. However, desert vegetation grows sparsely and scantly and spreads widely in desert regions, making it challenging to accurately estimate its vegetation cover using satellite data. In this study, we used RGB images from two periods: images from 2006 captured with a small, light manned aircraft with a resolution of 0.1 m and images from 2019 captured with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a resolution of 0.02 m. Three pixel-based machine learning algorithms, namely gradient enhancement decision tree (GBDT), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and random forest (RF), were used to classify the main vegetation (woody and grass species) and calculate the coverage. An independent data set was used to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithms. Overall accuracies of GBDT, KNN and RF for 2006 image classification were 0.9140, 0.9190 and 0.9478, respectively, with RF achieving the best classification results. Overall accuracies of GBDT, KNN and RF for 2019 images were 0.8466, 0.8627 and 0.8569, respectively, with the KNN algorithm achieving the best results for vegetation cover classification. The vegetation coverage in the study area changed significantly from 2006 to 2019, with an increase in grass coverage from 15.47 \u00b1 1.49% to 27.90 \u00b1 2.79%. The results show that RGB images are suitable for mapping FVC. Determining the best spatial resolution for different vegetation features may make estimation of desert vegetation coverage more accurate. Vegetation cover changes are also important in terms of understanding the evolution of desert ecosystems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14153833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]],"date-time":"2022-08-09T04:16:55Z","timestamp":1660018615000},"page":"3833","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Estimating Fractional Vegetation Cover Changes in Desert Regions Using RGB Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Lu","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Forestry Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaodi","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute of Forestry Policy and Information, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liyong","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Forestry Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"},{"name":"Research Institute of Forest Resource Information Techniques, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8623-6211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ram P.","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Forestry, Tribhuwan University, Kritipur 44600, Nepal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5401-6783","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hua","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Center of Forestry Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha 410004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"849","DOI":"10.1007\/s003820050147","article-title":"The Project for Intercomparison of Land-surface Parametrization Schemes (PILPS): 1992 to 1995","volume":"12","author":"McGuffie","year":"1996","journal-title":"Clim.
