AVI Formula
The following formula is used to calculate an advanced vegetation index:
AVI = [ NIR * (1-RED) * (NIR -RED ) ] ^ 1/3
- Where AVI is the advanced vegation index
- NIR is the near-infrared light value
- RED is the red light value
AVI Definition
AVI, short for advanced vegetation index, is a metric used to study the changes in crops and forests over time.
AVI is similar to NDVI, and uses the near-infrared and red spectral bands.
Example Problem
How to calculate AVI?
First, determine the near-infrared light value. For this example, we will use a value of 84.
Next, determine the RED spectral band value. For this example, using the same satellite (Landsat 5), the RED value is .2525
Finally, calculate the AVI for this area of land using the formula above:
AVI = [ NIR * (1-RED) * (NIR -RED ) ] ^ 1/3
AVI = [ 84 * (1-.25) * (84-25 ) ] ^ 1/3
AVI = 17.409
