EVI2Two-Band Enhanced Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #27

Summary

The Two-Band Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI2) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2008; its source is cited as Z JIANG, A HUETE, K DIDAN, & T MIURA (2008). Development of a two-band enhanced vegetation index without a blue band. Remote Sensing of Environment, 112(10). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2008.06.006 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 91.69th percentile overall, ranking 27 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 34 indices published within two years of 2008, it ranks 2 (97.06th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 89.1th percentile and ranks 24 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 16 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).

Formula

g * (N - R) / (N + (C1 - (C2 / c)) * R + L)

Bands

N

Near-Infrared (NIR).

R

Red.

Polarizations

No radar polarizations are used in this index.

Constants

C1

Coefficient 1 for the aerosol resistance term.

Default value6

C2

Coefficient 2 for the aerosol resistance term.

Default value7.5

L

Default value1

c

Ratio of red to blue reflectances. Red = c * Blue.

Default value2.08

g

Gain factor.
