Plant coverage is a very important ecological index
and it is essential for predicting soil loss quantitatively.Two plots covered with green paper cards as simulated plant were measured by overhead camera in order to analyze errors of the method.Comparison between computed results and actual plant coverage degree shows that the overhead photograph combined with image processing is an accurate and fast method to measure plant coverage degree.
