Nr.	Name	General Formula
1	Global Environment Monitoring Index	$(n (1 - 0.25 n) - \frac{RED - 0.125}{1 - RED})$
2	Modified Simple Ratio 670,800	$\frac{\frac{800nm}{670nm} - 1}{\sqrt{\frac{800nm}{670nm} + 1}}$
3	mSR2	$(\frac{750nm}{705nm}) - \frac{1}{\sqrt{(\frac{750nm}{705nm}) + 1}}$
4	Nonlinear vegetation index	$\frac{{[780:1400]}^{2} - RED}{{[780:1400]}^{2} + RED}$
5	Normalized Difference NIR/Red	$\frac{NIR - RED}{NIR + RED}$
6	Perpendicular Vegetation Index	$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{a^{2} + 1}}) (NIR - ar - b)$
7	Renormalized Difference Vegetation Index	$\frac{800nm - 670nm}{\sqrt{800nm + 670nm}}$
8	Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index	$\frac{800nm - 670nm}{800nm + 670nm + L} (1 + L)$
9	Weighted Difference Vegetation Index	$NIR - a \cdot RED$
