The values of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) computed from the data of Japanese ADEOS-1 AVNIR (spatial resolution 16m) and Landsat-5 TM (spatial resolution 30m) over a semi-arid area in the central Australia indicate that the values obtained from Landsat-5 TM are a little larger. The ground based measurements of spectral reflectivity of land cover in the same area with BRF (Bidirectional Reflectance Factor) facility indicate that the effect of viewing direction is larger in near IR spectrum than that of visible. The NDVI computed from these data indicates an effect of viewing direction. The data observed with RADARSAT SAR (C band) and JERS-1 SAR (L band) over the same area indicate that both data are effective for identification of forests however not so effective to identify sparse vegetation, although RADARSAT SAR can show vegetation area to a certain extent.
