NDVI: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
In VegSpecIndex: Vegetation and Spectral Indices for Environmental Assessment
NDVI R Documentation
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
Description
Among the typical spectral vegetation indices, NDVI is one of the most suitable to track crop development dynamics since it measures photosynthetically active biomass in plants. Standard method for comparing the vegetation greenness explains density of vegetation. The NDVI values tentatively ranges between -1 to +1, the values close to +1 denotes the good health of vegetation (Vermote et al., 2016).
Usage
NDVI (NIR, RED)
Arguments
NIR
Near-infra red spectral band
RED
Red spectral band
Value
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
