Abstract: 
Our earlier results concerning the possibility to use vegetation indices of red edge and water indices from hyperspectral data of EO-1 Hyperion for land cover classification are presented. The experimental evaluation of the use of the indices for land cover classification was carried out within Kyiv region oblast. The classification of vegetation cover using images calculated on the basis of identification of red edge and water indices gives better results that with reflectance. The combination of reflectance and indices images is useful for classification of industrial objects and water bodies. The investigation results show big potential for monitoring of the vegetation cover with the help of the combination of both indices.
Keywords: indices, red edge, vegetation cover
