Remote sensing indices are calculations performed on multispectral satellite and aerial imagery that help analyze specific properties ofEarth’s surface. Some of the most commonly used indices include the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI), and Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI).
