A improved method named vegetation normalized difference water index (VNDWI) has been proposed in this paper based on NEW of Xiao Yun-fang(2010), which uses Band 1 and Band 7 and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) in TM5 imagery to construct the VNDWI. This method has been tested in the Yangtze River Basin, and compares the results with other methods is the best. Due to the refle...

A two band Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI2) without the blue band reflectance has recently been developed as a proxy for the phenology, quantity, and activity of vegetation. We compared the ability of EVI2 and the more commonly used Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to resolve differences in surface greenness and Leaf Area Index (LAI) among three sites located along a burn severity ...

The spatial heterogeneity of recent decadal dynamics in vegetation greenness and biomass in response to changes in summer warmth index (SWI) was investigated along spatial gradients on the Arctic Slope of Alaska. Image spatial analysis was used to examine the spatial pattern of greenness dynamics from 1991 to 2000 as indicated by variations of the maximum normalized difference vegetation index ...

This study investigates temporal relationships between vegetation growth, rainfall, and soil moisture for six sites located in sub-Saharan and southern Africa for the period 2005-2009. Specifically, seasonal components of time series of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) composites from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ...

In this study, we used the time series images of spectral reflectance from TERRA satellite to compute normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference moisture index (NDMI) in the Chaoyang City, western Liaoning, north-eastern China. Time-series data of NDVI and NDMI derived from satellite images of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used to sh...

Pada daerah yang luas biasanya terdapat kesulitan dalam memantau fase tumbuh tanaman padi. Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi, salah satu alternatif dapat dilakukan untuk memperoleh data tersebut adalah menggunakan citra satelit. Fase padi diketahui menghitung indeks vegetasi berdasarkan tingkat kehijauan bantuan MODIS algoritma NDVI. Tujuan dari penelitian ini menentukan persamaan dan rent...

Vegetation indices have been used extensively to estimate the vegetation density from satellite and airborne images for many years. In this paper we first focus on one of the most popular vegetation indices, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI ) [1] and introduce a statistical framework to analyze it. We propose a solution to the saturation problem of this index based on our statis...

the objective of this study is to develop a novel methodology integrating remote sensing, geographic information system technology and local spatial autocorrelation geo-computation for quick drought assessment. one group of drought indices, based on the condition of the vegetation, includes the normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi), anomaly of normalized difference vegetation index (ndv...
