Vegetation index

Formula

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [15]

\({\text{NDVI}} = \frac{{{\text{NIR}} - {\text{Red}}}}{{{\text{NIR}} + {\text{Red}}}}\)

Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [16]

\({\text{GNDVI}} = \frac{{{\text{NIR}} - {\text{Green}}}}{{{\text{NIR}} + {\text{Green}}}}\)

RedEdge Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [17]

\({\text{RENDVI}} = \frac{{{\text{NIR}} - {\text{RedEdge}}}}{{{\text{NIR}} + {\text{RedEdge}}}}\)

Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index [18]

\({\text{SAVI}} = \frac{{(1 + {\text{L}}) \times ({\text{NIR}} - {\text{Red)}}}}{{{\text{NIR}} + {\text{Red}} + {\text{L}}}}\)

Enhanced Vegetation Index [19]

\({\text{EVI}} = \frac{{{\text{G}} \times ({\text{NIR}} - {\text{Red}})}}{{{\text{NIR}} + {\text{c}}_{1} {\text{Red}} - {\text{c}}_{2} {\text{Blue}} + {\text{L}}}}\)
