TSAVITransformed Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #197

Summary

The Transformed Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (TSAVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. Its source is cited as F. Baret, G. Guyot, & D.J. Major (n.d.). TSAVI: A Vegetation Index Which Minimizes Soil Brightness Effects On LAI And APAR Estimation. 12th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium,, 3. https://doi.org/10.1109/igarss.1989.576128 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 38.17th percentile overall, ranking 197 out of 317 indices with citation data. Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 25.35th percentile and ranks 160 out of 213 indices with citation data.

Formula

sla * (N - sla * R - slb) / (sla * N + R - sla * slb)

Bands

N

Near-Infrared (NIR).

R

Red.

Polarizations

No radar polarizations are used in this index.

Constants

sla

Soil line slope. N = sla * R + slb (only for soil pixels/measurements).

Default value1

Suggested values

Equal TSAVI to NDVI when slb is 0.0: 1

slb

Soil line intercept. N = sla * R + slb (only for soil pixels/measurements).

Default value0

Suggested values

Equal TSAVI to NDVI when sla is 1.0: 0

Reductions

No contextual reductions are used in this index.
