NDVI | Vegetation/Forest Cover Map in ArcGIS

How to NDVI in arcGIS. Hope you will learn easily how to do NDVI for your study area.
NDVI Calculation Equation:
NDVI=(PIR-R)/(PIR+R)
In Landsat 8,
NDVI=(B5-B4)/(B5+B4)
In Landsat 4-7,
NDVI=(B4-B3)/(B4+B3)

What NDVI formul should used for Sentinel-2 image? And GNDVI for Landsat 5-8 and Sentinel-2? Thanks!!

[lubchoo]

How did you decide the ranges for shrubs versus other vegetation? Do trees and grass generally have a higher NDVI?

[daobuithithuy]

Why is the gray level value of my Landsat 8 bands (low - high) after downloading not from 0 like your image but it is a different value from 0? Is your image pre-processed?

[thashriftippu]

where to download landsat images and how do i extract agriculture land

[pacifiqueirenge]

My question is, what are the steps to follow when we work on landuse landcover and Space-Temporary Dynamics of vegetation of an area. Finally how to calculate accuracy assessment?

[HaikalMuhammad]

Hey! I am an urban planning student, therefore i use these data as a user. Do you use Radiometric Calibration on each bands' central wavelength? And do you think its necessary or not considering i am an urban planning student and not geodesy student

[mohdaminkhan]

Dear sir, do you used pre-processing data of landsat 8 which u did in qgis. When I try to open the qgis corrected images then the images will not appear and the value of image index exceed no. 1 in both high and low index

[chewingum]

Very nicely explained 👍 can u plz share the band formula for sentinel satellite image?

[susmitasen]

Should we need to change the break values ?

[systemtuner]

Hellow sir.
Sir i have a project of urban saprual cause reduction of mango farms in multan city.i am a student and an average arc gis user.what process i can adopt to plot this issue in map form.will and use land cover technique help in this case.plz help sir

[alexak]

As far this part i have created NDVI image. But i don't know how to calculate the area. Like how many hectares Dense vegetation ? How many hectares sparse vegetation? How many hectares water body? Like that. Please help me to find out

[shivangisaini]

Can we clip NDVI data(after creating) only to our study area? or we need to make it seperately? you showed study area later with clipped NDVI. how to do it if i dont want to repeat the whole process but want to clip it only to my study area?

[khimsopheak]

Dear Sir, I want to calculate the supplemented urban green space to transform the city to be a green one ? How many method could we do this object? Thanks

[zoomup]

Thanks for the video, i have sample plot each of 25m diameter, and i want to get the ndvi value for this sample plot. how can i access that ndvi value for particular sample plot?

[The_Backpacker_Botanist]

if my study area had more then 50 LS tiles, then how can I calculate NDVI for so many tiles. is it possible to mosaic them first and then calculate? and if so, then i have to mosaic separately for different bands.?

[trendscape-nr]

Which satellite data you have used in this.?

[KendalljazzYT]

Why did you not explain what files you added into ArcMap before finding NDVI. That would have been helpful

نعم كأنا الفيديو أكثر من رائع شكرا جزيلا

Hello, sorry I am doing the same kind of task however I am getting values between -3.6 to 2.8, different to -1 to 1. Do you think that I am doing something wrong ?
