Summary
The Vertical Dual De-Polarization Index (VDDPI) 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 44.73th percentile overall, ranking 175 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 56 indices published within two years of 2018, it ranks 13 (80.36th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 31.28th percentile and ranks 147 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 26 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 9 (73.08th percentile).
