Morphological indicesLeaf width (LW)
Leaf length (LL)
Leaf area (LA or CLA)
Leaf perimeter (LP)
Colour indicesRed (R or CR)
Green (G or CG)
Normalized red index (NRI)NRI = R/(R + G + B)
Normalized green index (NGI)NGI = G/(R + G + B)
Dark green colour index (DGCI)DGCI = {(hue − 60)/60 + (1 − saturation) + (1 − brightness)}/3
Excess green vegetation index (ExG)ExG = 2NGI − NRI − NBI
Excess green minus excess red (ExGR)ExGR = ExG − ExR
Green-red vegetation index (GRVI)GRVI = (G − R)/(G + R)
Kawashima index (IKAW)IKAW = (R − B)/(R + B)
Principal component analysis index (IPCA)IPCA = 0.994|R − B| + 0.961|G − B| + 0.914|G − R|

CLA, CR, and CG represent the LA, R, and G of the chlorotic part, respectively.
