Vegetation Indices
NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index
Advantages
 Very easy to compute – it is a transformation of reflectance in 2 channels;
does not need additional information (like the type of soil/vegetation);
 Allows the analysis of long time series – using satellite data from NOAA, we
can analyze data with more than 20 years.

Disadvantages
 Sensitive to fluctuations/noise in the observations (the lighting conditions of
the surface, aerosols, contamination by clouds);
 It saturates in high biomass situations;
 Does not correspond to any property / physical characteristic of the
surface/vegetation.

Biogeophysical Parameters
Parameters that represent the structural characteristics of vegetated surfaces:
Fraction of Vegetation Cover
[0 – 1]: fraction of the surface
covered by vegetation (FVC)
Leaf Area Index : total area occupied by the leaves per unit area [m2/m2] (LAI)
It provides complementary information to the FVC, accounting for the surface of leaves
contained in a vertical column normalized by its cross-sectional area.

It is a function of (Monteith, 1972):
Incoming solar radiation (0.2-3.0 μm);
Surface Temperature;
fAPAR
The Joint Research Center (JRC) is computing this parameter for crop monitoring
using meteorological information and the fAPAR product from the LSA SAF (LSA
SAF 3rd User Training Workshop).
