Module Vegetation Index (Slope Based)

Slope based vegetation indices.

Ratio Vegetation Index (Richardson and Wiegand, 1977)
RVI = R / NIR

Normalized Ratio Vegetation Index (Baret and Guyot, 1991)
NRVI = (RVI - 1) / (RVI + 1)

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (Rouse et al. 1974)
NDVI = (NIR - R) / (NIR + R)

Transformed Vegetation Index (Deering et al., 1975)
TVI = [(NIR - R) / (NIR + R)]^0.5 + 0.5

Corrected Transformed Ratio Vegetation Index (Perry and Lautenschlager, 1984)
CTVI = [(NDVI + 0.5) / abs(NDVI + 0.5)] * [abs(NDVI + 0.5)]^0.5

Thiam's Transformed Vegetation Index (Thiam, 1997)
RVI = [abs(NDVI) + 0.5]^0.5

Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (Huete, 1988)
SAVI = [(NIR - R) / (NIR + R)] * (1 + S)

(NIR = near infrared, R = red, S = soil adjustment factor)
