Abstract :
A new vegetation index is proposed. Ordinal vegetation index can show intensity of vegetation on the ground. It can not show structure of vegetation surface or texture. The proposed vegetation index utilizes BRF property. It is generated from data from 2 satellite orbits and it is able to show the structure of the vegetation surface or texture. Principles of this index is coming from field observation using RC helicopter. Each vegetation canopy has different texture and roughness. The new index, named BSI (Bi-directional reflectance Structure Index) shows difference of vegetation canopy. It is calculated by using the data of NOAA/AVHRR, ADEOS OCTS. ADEOS-II GLI can derive BSI.
