VARI

Resumen

Calculates the Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI) from a multiband raster object and returns a raster object with the index values.

Debate

The Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index (VARI) is designed to emphasize vegetation in the visible portion of the spectrum, while mitigating illumination differences and atmospheric effects. It is ideal for RGB or color images; it utilizes all three color bands.

\(VARI \space = \space (Green \space - \space Red) \space / \space (Green \space + \space Red \space – \space Blue)\)

  • Green = pixel values from the green band

  • Red= pixel values from the red band

  • Blue = pixel values from the blue band

For information about other multiband raster indexes, see the Band Arithmetic raster function.

The referenced raster dataset for the raster object is temporary. To make it permanent, you can call the raster object's save method.

Sintaxis

VARI(raster, {red_band_id}, {green_band_id}, {blue_band_id})

El parámetro Explicación Tipo de datos

raster

The input raster.

Raster

red_band_id

The band ID of the red-edge band. The band ID index uses one-based indexing.

The default value is 3.

Integer

green_band_id

The band ID of the green band. The ID index uses one-based indexing.

The default value is 2.

Integer

blue_band_id

The band ID of the blue band. The ID index uses one-based indexing.

The default value is 1.

Integer

Valor de retorno

Tipo de datos Explicación

Raster

The output raster with the VARI values.
