Fluorescence Correction Vegetation Index (FCVI)

Description:

The Fluorescence Correction Vegetation Index (FCVI) is a vegetation index used to separate photosynthetic activity from other factors by calculating the difference between the near-infrared (NIR) and the red, green, and blue spectral bands.

FCVI = NIR band - (( Red band + Green Band + Blue Band) / 3.0)
