{{DavinciWiki_Function|
Generates an Atmospheric and Soil Vegetation Index map
|
Arguments: 1- or 2-dimensional greyscale images representing near-infrared, red, and blue spectral bands (all three are required)
 
Return Value: A [[float]] greyscale image
|
[[Syntax]]: asvi(nir, red, blue)
 
This function is part of the larger class of vegetation-index methods used in satellite image-processing. See [[ndi]] or [http://www.beneaththewaves.net/Photography/Calculated_Greyscale_Images.html this discussion of related functions] for more detailed information.

ASVI is of the subtype which will return both positive and negative values. Positive values generally indicate the presence of vegetation (with greater values indicating healthier vegetation). Negative values generally indicate a lack of vegetation (water, rock, soil, etc.).

The formula used is:

'''ASVI &#61; NIR + 0.5 - (0.5 * (Sqrt(((2 * NIR + 1)^2) - 8 * (NIR - (2 * Red) + Blue)))'''

This formula was obtained from "[http://www.isprs.org/proceedings/XXXIV/part4/pdfpapers/059.pdf Above-Ground Biomass Estimation of Successional and Mature Forests Using TM Images in the Amazon Basin]" (Dengsheng Lu, Paul Mausel, Eduardo Brondizio, and Emilio Moran, 2002).
