WDVIWeighted Difference Vegetation Index

Summary

The Weighted Difference Vegetation Index (WDVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1989; its source is cited as J.G.P.W. Clevers (1989). Application of a weighted infrared-red vegetation index for estimating leaf Area Index by Correcting for Soil Moisture. Remote Sensing of Environment, 29(1). https://doi.org/10.1016/0034-4257(89)90076-x 🡕.

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 51.1th percentile overall, ranking 156 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 10 indices published within two years of 1989, it ranks 9 (20th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 36.15th percentile and ranks 137 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 9 (20th percentile).
