Scatter Plot of SMA v. NDVI Vegetation Abundance Values

  This plot shows the values of each pixel in the northern scene plotted by their vegetation values according to NDVI and SMA results. If the results were correlated linearly then the majority of pixels would fall along a best-fit line. As this plot shows, there are levels of vegetation where there is not a tight linear correlation and therefore some discrepancies exist between the results of vegetation abundance as calculated by NDVI and those calculated by SMA.
