The Transformed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index algorithm indicates a relation between the amount of green biomass that is found in a pixel. (Senseman et.al. 1996). Transformed Normalised Difference Vegetation index (TNDVI) is the square root of the NDVI. It has higher coefficient of determination for the same variable and this is the difference between TNDVI and NDVI. The formula of TNDVI has always positive values and the variances of the ratio are proportional to mean values. The TNDVI results from the following equation: TNDVI = sqrt( (IR_factor * near_IR - red_factor * red) / (IR_factor * near_IR + red_factor * red) + 0.5)

The Normalized Difference Water Index algorithm was developed by Gao (19964) being a measure of liquid water molecules in vegetation canopies that interacted with the incoming solar radiation. NDWI is sensitive to changes in liquid water content of vegetation canopies. It is less sensitive to atmospheric effects than NDVI. NDWI does not remove completely the background soil reflectance effects therefore it should be considered as an independent vegetation index. It is complementary to not a substitute for NDVI. The NDWI results from the following equation: NDWI = (IR_factor * near_IR - mir_factor * middle_IR) / (IR_factor * near_IR + mir_factor * middle_IR)

MCARI gives a measure of the depth of chlorophyll absorption and is very sensitive to variations in chlorophyll concentrations as well as variations in Leaf Area Index (LAI). MCARI values are not affected by illumination conditions the background reflectance from soil and other non-photosynthetic materials observed.

The Transformed Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (TSAVI) method is a vegetation index that minimizes soil brightness influences by assuming the soil line has an arbitrary slope and intercept. TSAVI = (s *(NIR - s * Red - a)) / (a * NIR + Red - a * s + X * (1 + s2))

The Normalized Difference Pond Index algorithm was developed by J.P Lacaux et al. (2006).The NDPI makes it possible not only to distinguish small ponds and water bodies (down to 0.01 ha) but also to differentiate vegetation inside ponds from that in their surroundings The NDPI results from the following equation: NDPI = (mir_factor * middle_IR - green_factor * green) / (mir_factor * middle_IR + green_factor * green)
