MSAVI: Modified SAVI
In VegSpecIndex: Vegetation and Spectral Indices for Environmental Assessment
MSAVI R Documentation
Modified SAVI
Description
The Modified SAVI vegetation index is designated to mitigate soil effects on crop monitoring results. Therefore, it is applied when NDVI cannot provide accurate values, particularly, with a high percentage of bare soil, scarce vegetation, or low chlorophyll content in plants. MSAVI is useful at the very beginning of crop production season, when seedlings start to establish (EOS, 2022).
Usage
MSAVI (NIR, RED)
Arguments
NIR
Near-infra red spectral band
RED
Red spectral band
