This paper is a good place to start - it covers multiple visible indices. You can freely access the Open Manuscript to see the content.

NIR will give you much more information about land use/land cover and there are many more indices that this opens this up to :)

Hi Shelley is there a reason you prefer to use the visible bands? The NIR will give you much more information about land use/land cover and there are many more indices that this opens this up to :). Hope that helps - NICFI Program Team :)
