Classic NDVI can be fuzzy over bright soils and sparse canopies. We re-parameterized EVI with PSO for semi-arid mountains on Sentinel-2.
Have you tried scene-specific EVI tuning?

NDVI (left) vs PSO-tuned EVI (right) in semi-arid mountains; the optimized EVI produced a wider vegetation value range, higher variance, and mapped more vegetation pixels than NDVI and the conventional EVI.

Great read. I map vegetation & wildfire in semi-arid mountains with RS/UAV. I’m testing co-produced maps with local NGOs—what NSW format (workshop, field dialogue, media brief) scaled best after the event?

More than 20k individual 3D trees are now gathered in one place to benchmark deep-learning models to classify tree species.

Amazing initiative led by @stefanopuliti!
The data and codes are open, and a preprint is ready! 👏

This is wonderful!
I’m also working on a fire risk project, and once I have results, I’d be happy to share them with you.

Hello, good luck!

Looking for something better than NDVI as a vegetation index?
Follow the flowchart below.

Flowchart for moving beyond NDVI: Sentinel-2 multispectral data feeds two paths: (a) Generation of NDVI; (b) Calculate EVI coefficients with PSO → Classification with EVI. In parallel, Google Earth imagery → Manual classification (veg/non-veg).

Fantastic work and what a view! It's always great to see meteorological data collection in action. This is precisely the kind of valuable data that helps us understand, analyze, and act on weather conditions.

I'm glad you found the research interesting. I'd love to hear your thoughts, or the thoughts of others in this field. Do you have any experience with scene-specific tuning of EVI parameters?

We conducted a binary visual comparison of EVI vegetation maps (traditional vs optimized) over a semi-arid mountain site.

Red: vegetation by tuned EVI but non-vegetation by traditional EVI; Blue: the opposite
