Vegetation index using the Raster Calculator

  1. Click the Add raster layer QGIS 2.0 addrast.png and select a multiband Sentinel-2 satellite image
  2. Check the rank and spectral range of bands in the multiband file (e.g. see table Changing Raster Layer Style).
  3. After clicking Open, the raster layer appears in the QGIS canvas.
  4. Click Raster --> Raster calculator.
  5. A powerful normalization is realized by the normalized difference vegetation index that forms the basis of most vegetation indices $NDVI = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + RED)$. It cac be implemented using Raster Calculator as seen in the following screenshot:
