DDWIDirect Difference Water Index

WaterMultispectralCitation Rank #255

Summary

The Direct Difference Water Index (DDWI) is a water spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2022; its source is cited as Hazem Usama Abdelhady, Cary David Troy, Ayman Habib, & Raja Manish (2022). A Simple, Fully Automated Shoreline Detection Algorithm for High-Resolution Multi-Spectral Imagery. Remote Sensing, 14(3). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14030557 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 19.87th percentile overall, ranking 255 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 53 indices published within two years of 2022, it ranks 22 (60.38th percentile). Within the water application domain, it is in the 43.75th percentile and ranks 19 out of 32 indices with citation data. Among the 12 similarly aged water indices, it ranks 6 (58.33th percentile).
