									 Hi everyone
I would like to know the correct expression of GRVI in band math. I tried to write the many expression, but the result was not realistic. I think the problem in writing is Prioritization of algebraic operations. How can i write the correct expression. I will be glad to help me.
Thank you
Hadi

										 I'm not familiar with GRVI, but in the IDL help, you can find a section that explains the precedence of mathematical operators. You will want to look under IDL Programming > Concepts > Operators > Operator Precedence.  Or just search on Operator Precedence.

										 What is GRVI? It sounds like some kind of a vegetation index.What is the definition?
You should also let us know what expressions you used so we can see why they might be wrong.

										 Dear 
GRVI is a vegetation index with this equetion (GRVI= B2-B3/B2+B3).
Best regards, Hadi

										 That is essentially the equation you would use:
(b2-b3)/(b2+b3)
If your data is not already in a floating point data type, you will need to 'float' these variables:
(float(b2)-float(b3)) / (float(b2)+float(b3))
Your might also want to calibrate your data to reflectance.
