Summary
The Dual-Pol Diagonal Distance (DPDD) is a vegetation spectral index intended for radar sensing. It was introduced in 2018; its source is cited as Shoba Periasamy (2018). Significance of dual polarimetric synthetic aperture radar in biomass retrieval: An attempt on Sentinel-1. Remote Sensing of Environment, 217. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2018.09.003 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 45.74th percentile overall, ranking 173 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 56 indices published within two years of 2018, it ranks 11 (82.14th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 32.39th percentile and ranks 145 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 26 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 7 (76.92th percentile).
