Neels,

The Worldview-3 satellite has different resolutions in the different bands. 
There is a panchromatic band that has 31 cm resolution, but the multispectral 
bands have 124 cm (1.2 m) resolution. You are probably seeing objects with the 
panchromatic band, but NDVI has to use the coarser multispectral bands.

Some of the Worldview data products use the panchromatic band to "sharpen" the 
multispectral images, but the multispectral data is fundamentally four times 
coarser than the panchromatic bands. If the multispectral bands have been 
resampled (interpolated) to the 31 cm pixel size to match the panchromatic 
band, they will be fuzzier.

    Yes, the raster calculator, and the extent (resolution, nr of  pixels, 
everything)  of the output file matches that of the two input bands. What is 
interesting is that I noted that the boundaries of some man-made objects  do no 
show this fuzziness:

    Hi,
    Did you use the raster calculator?  If so, did you select the proper extent 
and rows and columns in the output files?

    I created an NDVI in QGis from Worldview -3 bands. However, the NDVI looks 
?fuzzy?, or at lower resolution than the original bands. I tried to find a flag 
or setting which causes this but do not see something like it. What could be 
the reason for this appearance of the NDVI?
