Evaluate and Visualize

General description of the script

For Sentinel-2, the index looks like this:

\[NDCI = \frac{B5-B4}{B5+B4}\]

NDCI is an index that aims to predict the chlorophyll content in turbid productive waters. It is calculated using the red spectral band B04 with the red edge spectral band B05.
