Indices

Nr.	Name	General Formula	Comment
1	Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index	$\frac{2 NIR + 1 - \sqrt{{(2 NIR + 1)}^{2} - 8 (NIR - RED)}}{2}$
2	Normalized Difference NIR/Red	$\frac{NIR - RED}{NIR + RED}$
3	Perpendicular Vegetation Index	$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^{2} + 1}}) (NIR - ar - b)$
4	Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index	$\frac{800nm - 670nm}{800nm + 670nm + L} (1 + L)$
5	Soil-adjusted vegetation index 2	$\frac{NIR}{RED + \frac{b}{a}}$
6	Transformed Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index	$\frac{B (NIR - B \cdot R - A)}{RED + B (NIR - A) + X (1 + B^{2})}$
7	Transformed Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index 2	$\frac{a \cdot NIR - a \cdot RED - b}{RED + a \cdot NIR - a \cdot b}$
8	Weighted Difference Vegetation Index	$NIR - a \cdot RED$
