(a) RGB composite ρNIR-ρSWIR1-ρRed with 200 random points to assess the index. (b) A map of NDVI to decrease the spectral response of the water objects. (c) A map of slightly modified NDVI (in equation (2)) to get the forests by reducing the reflectance responses of other features. (d) RGB composite of ρNIR-ρSWIR1-ρRed in Landsat 8 OLI using constant 0.65 ∗ ρRed to avoid indefinite value in the 1 pixel towards the sea to obtain an index that is appropriate for the actual conditions. (e) Zoomed-in image of d.
