Abstract
Monitoring of the changes in the forest cover has been quite important because of its significant impact on climatic change. The following study was undertaken to monitor the conversion of vegetation cover to categories of different canopy cover in an area that has undergone very rapid industrialization in the recent past. 1982 and 1989 same season MSS data was registered and the atmospheric haze was reduced using a regression method. Conversion of the vegetation categories to the other categories was detected from the colour-sliced PC2 image of the subtracted bands.Keywords
