[1]. The soil line influences are first demonstrated numerically in terms of variations of vegetation isolines and VI values along with the isolines. A hypothetical case is then analyzed by assuming the discrepancies between the general and regional soil lines for a Southern Brazil area reported elsewhere. The results indicate the validity of our analytical approach for the evaluation of soil line influences and the applicability for adjustment of VI errors using external data sources of soil reflectance spectra.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs2020545","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,16]],"date-time":"2010-02-16T08:28:43Z","timestamp":1266308923000},"page":"545-561","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Soil Line Influences on Two-Band Vegetation Indices and Vegetation Isolines: A Numerical Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0978-8610","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hiroki","family":"Yoshioka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Science and Technology, Aichi Prefectural University, 1522-3 Kumabari, Nagakute, Aichi 480-1198, Japan"}]},{"given":"Tomoaki","family":"Miura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management, College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 1910 East-West Road, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 A.
