GCI: GCI - Green Chlorophyll Index

In nightmares: Common Analysis with Remote Sensing Data

Description

This function is used to estimate leaf chlorophyll content of plants species.

Usage

GCI(G, NIR)

Arguments

G	A raster layer object with the reflectance values for the Green band.
NIR	A raster layer object with the reflectance values for the Near Infrared band.

Value

GCI - Green Chlorophyll Index.

Examples

library(raster)
path_files <- system.file("extdata/", package="nightmares")
bands <- stack(list.files(path_files,".tif", full.names=TRUE))
x <- ref_oli(bands, sun.elev= 67.97)
GCI(x[[3]], x[[5]])
