TLDR
A variety of spectral indices now exist for various precision agriculture applications, rather than a focus on only normalised difference vegetation indices as discussed by the authors, and the spectral bandwidth has decreased dramatically with the advent of hyperspectral remote sensing, allowing improved analysis of specific compounds, molecular interactions, crop stress, and crop biophysical or biochemical characteristics.

Red and photographic infrared linear combinations for monitoring vegetation

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between various linear combinations of red and photographic infrared radiances and vegetation parameters is investigated, showing that red-IR combinations to be more significant than green-red combinations.

Monitoring Vegetation Systems in the Great Plains with Erts

TL;DR: In this paper, a method has been developed for quantitative measurement of vegetation conditions over broad regions using ERTS-1 spectral bands 5 and 7, corrected for sun angle, which is shown to be correlated with aboveground green biomass on rangelands.

A soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI)

TL;DR: In this article, a transformation technique was presented to minimize soil brightness influences from spectral vegetation indices involving red and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, which nearly eliminated soil-induced variations in vegetation indices.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index

TL;DR: In this article, a modified SAVI (MSAVI) was proposed to increase the dynamic range of the vegetation signal while further minimizing the soil background influences, resulting in greater vegetation sensitivity as defined by a vegetation signal to soil noise ratio.

Derivation of leaf-area index from quality of light on the forest floor

Carl F. Jordan
- 01 Jul 1969 - 
TL;DR: The Leaf—area index of a forest can be measured by determining the ratio of light at 800 μm to that at 675 μm on the forest floor, based on the principle that leaves absorb relatively more red than infrared light.
