NDMI: Normalized Difference Moisture Index
In VegSpecIndex: Vegetation and Spectral Indices for Environmental Assessment
NDMI R Documentation
Normalized Difference Moisture Index
Description
The NDMI is a vegetation index that uses remote sensing data to determine the water content of vegetation. It is used to monitor droughts and fuel levels in areas that are prone to fire. Negative values are the indicator of water stress or non-vegetated areas, the values approaching -1, indicate water stress and values approaching +1, indicate waterlogged area (Vermote et al., 2016).
Usage
NDMI (NIR, SWIR)
Arguments
NIR
Near-infra red spectral band
SWIR
Short wave infra-red spectral band
Value
Normalized Difference Moisture Index
