Popis: The Percut River border area has changed its function. Changes in land use result in a decrease in the area and types of vegetation that grow on river borders. Considering that the area is quite long and inaccessible in some locations, it can identify riparian vegetation by utilizing remote sensing technology. This study aims to identify the characteristics of the Percut river riparian vegetation using a UAV. Eight vegetation indices were used to analyse land cover types in this riparian ecosystem, namely Green-red ratio (GR), Green-red vegetation index (GRVI), RGB-based vegetation index (RGBVI), Visible atmospherically resistant index (VARI), Simple blue-green ratio (BGI2), Excess green index (ExG), Normalized green-blue difference index (NGBDI) and Modified green-red vegetation index (MGRVI). The analysis of the vegetation index based on RGB images shows that not all indices used are good in separating vegetation from other land covers. Analysis of riparian vegetation characteristics based on the RGB index is recommended using the RGBVI index (RGB-based vegetation index).
