NDWI

Resumen

Calculates the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) from a multiband raster object and returns a raster object with the index values.

Debate

The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) method is an index for delineating and monitoring content changes in surface water. It is computed with the NIR and green bands.

\(NDWI \space = \space (Green \space - \space NIR) \space / \space (Green \space + \space NIR)\)

For information about other multiband raster indexes, see the Band Arithmetic raster function.

The referenced raster dataset for the raster object is temporary. To make it permanent, you can call the raster object's save method.

Sintaxis

NDWI(raster, {nir_band_id}, {green_band_id})

El parámetro	Explicación	Tipo de datos
raster	The input raster.	Raster
nir_band_id	The band ID of the near-infrared band. The ID index uses one-based indexing. The default value is 5.	Integer
green_band_id	The band ID of the green band. The ID index uses one-based indexing. The default value is 3.	Integer
