omega

Coefficient that maximizes the difference between water and non-water surfaces.

Default value2.0
Suggested values
For negative index values assigned to water and non-water surfaces
1.0
For positive index values assigned to water surfaces and built-up areas (greater values than this also deliver the same result)
5.0
For positive index values assigned to water surfaces and negative to non-water surfaces
2.0
