Remote Sensing Indices Derivation Tool

Calculate spectral indices using satellite remote sensing data.

Sensors supported:

  • Landsat 1-5 MSS
  • Landsat 4-5 TM
  • Landsat 7 ETM+
  • Landsat 8 OLI
  • Worldview-02
  • MODIS Terra and Aqua

Indices supported (sensor dependent):

Vegetation Related Indices

Hydrologic Indices

Geologic/Soil Indices

Burn Indices

Miscellaneous Indices

Tasseled Cap Transformation

  • Brightness, Greenness, Wetness, Yellowness (MSS)
    • Reflectance required for TM, ETM+, OLI, WV02, and MODIS
    • Digital Number (DN) required for MSS

Requirements

arcpy version

Requires arcpy and Tkinter.

GDAL version

Requires GDAL Calculations and Tkinter.

Instructions

Run the arcpy or GDAL Python script and use the GUI to select the satellite sensor, indices to calculate, input raster, and output path. Be sure Sensors_Formulas_RSIDT.ini is in the same directory.

Interface

Input raster should be stacked as follows (or manually adjust band designations within Python script)

Landsat 1-5 MSS

  • Green - Red - NIR1 - NIR2

Landsat 4-5 TM/Landsat 7 ETM+:

  • Blue - Green - Red - NIR - SWIR1 - SWIR2

Landsat 8 OLI:

  • Coastal - Blue - Green - Red - NIR - SWIR1 - SWIR2

MODIS:

  • Red - NIR - Green - Blue - SWIR1 - SWIR2 - SWIR3

Worldview 02:

  • Coastal - Blue - Green - Yellow - Red - Red Edge - NIR1 - NIR2

Manually Add an Index

Open the file, Sensors_Formulas_RSIDT.ini

In [Parameters], add the name of the index to the indices list, add the index with compatible sensors to the indicesSensor dictionary.

In [Formulas], add the index with equation.

Future Plans

  • Additional Sensors/Indices (Requests are welcome)
  • QGIS/ArcGIS Toolbox
