Applications to Hurricane
Output from Vegetative Vigor
Algorithm
Automated Change Detection
Derived from Pre- and Post Hurricane Andrew Landsat Imagery
Measures Change in Vegetation Vigor◦ Yellow indicates areas of
most significant negative impact on vegetation
◦ Oranges and reds indicate substantial vegetative stress
