Description

• Difference Vegetation Index
  DVI = NIR - R


• Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (Rouse et al. 1974)
  NDVI = (NIR - R) / (NIR + R)


• Ratio Vegetation Index (Richardson and Wiegand, 1977)
  RVI = R / NIR


• Normalized Ratio Vegetation Index (Baret and Guyot, 1991)
  NRVI = (RVI - 1) / (RVI + 1)


• Transformed Vegetation Index (Deering et al., 1975)
  TVI = [(NIR - R) / (NIR + R) + 0.5]^0.5


• Corrected Transformed Ratio Vegetation Index (Perry and Lautenschlager, 1984)
  CTVI = [(NDVI + 0.5) / abs(NDVI + 0.5)] * [abs(NDVI + 0.5)]^0.5


• Thiam's Transformed Vegetation Index (Thiam, 1997)
  RVI = [abs(NDVI) + 0.5]^0.5


• Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (Huete, 1988)
  SAVI = [(NIR - R) / (NIR + R + L)] * (1 + L)
