A comparison of vegetation indices over a global set of TM images for EOS-MODIS
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of Landsat Thematic Mapper images representing a wide range of vegetation conditions from the NASA Landsat Pathfinder, global land cover test site (GLCTS) initiative were processed to simulate the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), global vegetation index imagery at 250 m pixel size resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The proposed MODIS standard products for land applications are described along with the current plans for data quality assessment and product validation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of standing litter on the biophysical interpretation of plant canopies with spectral indices
W.J.D. van Leeuwen,Alfredo Huete +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the spectral properties of green vegetation and litter and quantified the effect of standing litter on the performance of spectral indices, including the normalized difference vegetation index, the soil adjusted vegetation index (SAVI), and the modified NDVI (MNDVI) and mixture model spectral indices.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The use of vegetation indices in forested regions: issues of linearity and saturation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) scenes from various temperate and tropical forested biomes, representing needleleaf and broadleaf canopy structures in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Eastern U.S., southern Chile, the Amazon, and Central America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normalization of multidirectional red and NIR reflectances with the SAVI
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Soil Adjusted Vegetation index (SAVI) to bidirectional measurements was assessed for purposes of improving remote temporal monitoring of vegetation dynamics.
