Band Arithmetic function—ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes

Available with Image Server

The Band Arithmetic function performs an arithmetic operation on the bands of a raster layer. You can choose predefined algorithms, or you can enter your own single-line formula. The supported operators are -,+,/,*, and unary -.

Notes

When using the User Defined method to define your band arithmetic algorithm, you can enter a single-line algebraic formula to create a single-band output. The supported operators are -,+,/,*, and unary -. To identify the bands, add B or b to the beginning of the band number. For example:

B1 + B2
b1 + (-b2)
(B1 + B2) / 2(B3 * B5)

When using the predefined indices, enter a space-delimited list indicating the band numbers to be used. The predefined indices are detailed below.

BAI method

The Burn Area Index (BAI) uses the reflectance values in the red and NIR portion of the spectrum to identify the areas of the terrain affected by fire.

BAI = 1/((0.1 -RED)^2 + (0.06 - NIR)^2)

Red = pixel values from the red band
NIR = pixel values from the near infrared band

Using a space-delimited list, identify the red and NIR bands in the following order: Red NIR. For example, 3 4.

CIg method

The Chlorophyll Index - Green (CIg) method is a vegetation index for estimating the chlorophyll content in leaves using the ratio of reflectivity in the NIR and green bands.

CIg = [(NIR / Green)-1]

NIR = pixel values from the near-infrared band

Clay Minerals method

The clay minerals ratio is a ratio of the SWIR1 and SWIR2 bands. This ratio leverages the fact that hydrous minerals such as the clays, alunite absorb radiation in the 2.0–2.3 micron portion of the spectrum. This index mitigates illumination changes due to terrain since it is a ratio.

Clay Minerals Ratio = SWIR1 / SWIR2

SWIR1 = pixel values from the short-wave infrared 1 band
SWIR2 = pixel values from the short-wave infrared 2 band

For Landsat TM and ETM+, this corresponds to bands 5 (SWIR1) and 7 (SWIR2). For Landsat 8, this corresponds to bands 6 (SWIR1) and 7 (SWIR2).

Using a space-delimited list, you will identify the SWIR2 and SWIR2 bands in the following order: SWIR1 SWIR2. For example, 6 7.

EVI method

The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) method is an optimized vegetation index that accounts for atmospheric influences and vegetation background signal. It's similar to NDVI but is less sensitive to background and atmospheric noise, and it does not become as saturated as NDVI when viewing areas with very dense green vegetation.

EVI = 2.5*(NIR - Red) / (NIR + 6*Red - 7.5*Blue + 1)

NIR = pixel values from the near-infrared band
Red = pixel values from the red band

GEMI method

The Global Environmental Monitoring Index (GEMI) method is a nonlinear vegetation index for global environmental monitoring from satellite imagery. It's similar to NDVI, but it's less sensitive to atmospheric effects. It is affected by bare soil; therefore, it's not recommended for use in areas of sparse or moderately dense vegetation.

GEMI = eta*(1-0.25*eta)-((Red-0.125)/(1-Red))

where,

eta = (2*(NIR²-Red²)+1.5*NIR+0.5*Red)/(NIR+Red+0.5)

GVI (Landsat TM) method

The Green Vegetation Index (GVI) method was originally designed from Landsat MSS imagery and has been modified for Landsat TM imagery. It's also known as the Landsat TM Tasseled Cap green vegetation index. It can be used with imagery whose bands share the same spectral characteristics.

GVI=-0.2848*Band1-0.2435*Band2-0.5436*Band3+0.7243*Band4+0.0840*Band5-1.1800*Band7

Using a space-delimited list, you will identify the six Landsat TM bands, ordered one through five and six. For example, 1 2 3 4 5 6. If your input contains six bands in the order expected, you don't need to enter a value in the Band Indexes text box.

This index outputs values between -1 and 1.

Iron Oxide method

The iron oxide ratio is a ratio of the red and blue wavelengths. The presence of limonitic-bearing phyllosilicates and limonitic iron oxide alteration cause absorption in blue band and reflectance in red band. This causes areas with strong iron alteration to be bright. The nature of the ratio allows this index to mitigate illumination differences caused by terrain shadowing.

Iron Oxide Ratio = Red / Blue

Red = pixel values from the red band
Blue = pixel values from the blue band

For Landsat TM and ETM+, this corresponds to bands 3 (red) and 1 (blue). For Landsat 8, this corresponds to bands 4 (red) and 2 (blue).

Using a space-delimited list, you will identify the red and blue bands in the following order: Red Blue. For example, 4 2.

MNDWI method

The Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) uses green and SWIR bands for the enhancement of open water features. It also diminishes built-up area features that are often correlated with open water in other indices.

Green = pixel values from the green band
SWIR = pixel values from the short-wave infrared band

Using a space-delimited list, identify the green and SWIR bands in the following order: Green SWIR. For example, 3 7.

NDVI method

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) method is a standardized index allowing you to generate an image displaying greenness (relative biomass). This index takes advantage of the contrast of the characteristics of two bands from a multispectral raster dataset—the chlorophyll pigment absorptions in the red band and the high reflectivity of plant materials in the NIR band.
