CE547 Analysis of “Greenness” of Parcels that Have Sold Off Water Rights

Return to Project Page

Figure G– NDVI Equations

NDVI = (NIR - red) / (NIR + red)
NDVI = (Band 4 - Band 3) / (Band 4 + Band 3)
In this project, I multiplied by 100 so that the greenness values would render in ArcMap. The resulting range is –100 to 100 rather than –1 to 1:
NDVI = NDVI * 100
