MNDWIModified Normalized Difference Water Index

Summary

The Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) is a water spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2006; its source is cited as Hanqiu Xu (2006). Modification of normalised difference water index (NDWI) to enhance open water features in remotely sensed imagery. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 27(14). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160600589179 🡕.

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 98.08th percentile overall, ranking 7 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 49 indices published within two years of 2006, it ranks 1 (100th percentile). Within the water application domain, it is in the 96.77th percentile and ranks 2 out of 31 indices with citation data. Among the 4 similarly aged water indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
