WAVELENGTH (um)
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index Spectral response of vegetation
Red – more absorption due to chlorophyll
Near Infra red – more reflection due to leaf
structure
NDVI Normalized Difference Vegetation
Index (NDVI)
NIR – Red / NIR+Red
Ratio of difference and sum of surface reflectance
in NIR and red spectral bands Reflected radiation in Near infrared and red
bands.
NDVI ranges from -1 to +1
NIR can see roughly 8 layers Water – negative NDVI
Red – one layer Clouds – zero NDVI
Vegetation – positive NDVI represents density,
vigor
Most successful indicator for describing vegetation

Normalized Difference Wetness Index/ NDWI/LSWI
Land Surface Wetness Index
Reflectance in 0.9 – 2.5 microns dominated by liquid water absorption
LSWI – Land Surface Wetness Index – uses SWIR at 2100 nm – very sensitive to
wetness
NDWI/LSWI uses
Agriculture – crop stress detection, crop yield, classification of succulent crops,
surface moisture
