Vegetation Indices

NDVI

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. A widely used spectral index that quantifies vegetation health by measuring the difference between near-infrared (which vegetation strongly reflects) and red light (which vegetation absorbs). Values range from -1 to 1, where higher values indicate denser, healthier vegetation.

Formula

NDVI = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red)
