Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)

Enhanced Vegetation Index is calculated as EVI = 2.5 * (NIR-Red)/(NIR+6*Red-7.5*Blue+1). This formula is used to check the grove and development of the vegetation layer of a specific region.

Our History

Geocarto International Centre (GIC), established in 1985 in Hong Kong, is the predecessor of Geocarto International Centre Ltd. incorporated in September 2011. The centre is the only organization in Asia that performs an integrated function in promoting Remote Sensing technologies. Its quarterly journal, Geocarto International, has publicized several commercial earth observation satellites by publishing special issues, such as SPOT (Vol. 1, No. 3, 1986), Landsat TM (Vol. 5, No. 1, 1990), RADARSAT (Vol. 10, No. 3, 1995), and ADEOS (Vol. 12, No. 4, 1997). Geocarto International was published by GIC for 20 years from 1986 to 2006. Effective from January 1st, 2007, this journal is published and distributed by Taylor and Francis in the UK.

Our Mission

Geocarto International Centre aims at promoting multi-disciplinary research in and applications of Remote Sensing, GIS, Geoscience, and Cartography through:

  1. publication of scientific and professional periodicals, books and maps
  2. distribution services for publishers of these subjects
  3. organization of exhibitions on Remote Sensing/GIS
  4. marketing of satellite data and image processing software for research projects and practical applications
  5. provision of technical advice and image processing services to customers in the application of Remote Sensing technologies.
