SCAVI: A Sunlit Canopy Adjusted Vegetation Index
Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing(2015)
摘要
Abstract. The new Sunlit Canopy Adjusted Vegetation Index (SCAVI) uses subpixel scale spectral mixture analysis (SMA) principles for improved biophysical parameter estimation. SCAVI and a new NDVI-modified extension (SCAVI+N) were formulated after soil-adjusted vegetation index (VI) equations and tested using NASA COVER airborne multispectral data for boreal forest black spruce stands in Superior National Forest, Minnesota, USA. Fifteen VIs and 3 SMA fractions were compared. SCAVI was the top-ranked VI for each of leaf area index (LAI: r2 = 0.72), net primary productivity (NPP: 0.72), and biomass (BIO: 0.63), with an overall r2 = 0.69 being >10% higher than the next-ranked VI. Shadow-adjusted vegetation indices (SHAVI, SHAVI+N) were also formulated but had low predictive capabilities. The best result of all variables was from SMA shadow fraction with overall r2 = 0.78 (LAI 0.79, NPP 0.80, BIO 0.74). The importance of endmember-based analysis was clear, because these occupied the top 6 of the 18 rankings. ...
