Green: 520-590 nm (G)
Red: 630-685 nm (R)
Red Edge: 690-730 nm (RE)
NIR: 760-850 nm

NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation
Index)
NDWI (Normalized Difference Water

MTCI is sensitive to chlorophyll content
NDRE (Normalized Difference RedEdge
Index
NDRE is sensitive to chlorophyll content
CCCI (Canopy Chlorophyll
Content Index)
(NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red)
(NIR-RE)/(NIR+RE)
NDRE/NDVICCCI is sensitive to the
chlorophyll content
NIR-RE/RE-Red
NIR-Blue/NIR+Blue
NDWI is sensitive to changes in water content of vegetation canopies
VariGREEN Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index
(Green-Red)/(Green+Red+Blue)
