Modified Vegetation Detection Index Using Different-Spectral Signature

The Normalization Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), for many years, was widely used in remote sensing the detection of vegetation land cover. This index uses red channel radiances (i.e., 0.66 μm reflectance) and near-IR 0.86 reflectance). In heavy chlorophyll absorption area, is located, while high reflectance plateau canopies, Near-IR situated. Senses channels (Red & Near- IR) read variance depths over canopies. present study, a further identification proposed. normalized difference shortwave (NDVSI) defined as between cubic bands IR Shortwave infrared radiation (SWIR) divided by their sums. or reflectances are included this from WSIR2 (2.1 μm). NDVSI less sensitivite to atmospheric effects compared NDVI. By comparing one with two indexes (NDVI, SAVI) cover, good correlations were found NDVI (R2=0.917) SAVI (R2=0.809. Accordingly, proposed can be taken into consideration an independent
