Spectral Indices

The ready-to-use curated list of spectral indices (check the list here) for remote sensing applications is presented here. The list is available in two formats (CSV, JSON) so it can be easily used in any programming language.

Attributes

Each item of the list has the following attributes:

short_name: Short name of the index (e.g. "NDWI").
long_name: Long name of the index (e.g. "Normalized Difference Water Index").
formula: Expression/formula of the index (e.g. "(G - N)/(G + N)").
bands: List of required bands/parameters for the index computation (e.g. ["N","G"]).
reference: Link to the index reference/paper/doi (e.g. "https://doi.org/10.1080/01431169608948714").
type: Type/application of the index (e.g. "water").
date_of_addition: Date of addition to the list (e.g. "2021-04-07").
contributor: GitHub user link of the contributor (e.g. "https://github.com/davemlz").

Expressions

The formula of the index is presented as a string/expression (e.g. "(N - R)/(N + R)") that can be easily evaluated. The parameters used in the expression for each index follow this standard:

Description	Standard	Sentinel-2	Landsat-8	Landsat-457	MODIS
Aerosols	A	B1	B1
Blue	B	B2	B2	B1	B3
Green	G	B3	B3	B2	B4
Red	R	B4	B4	B3	B1
Red Edge 1	RE1	B5
Red Edge 2	RE2	B6
Red Edge 3	RE3	B7
Red Edge 4	RE4	B8A
NIR	N	B8	B5	B4	B2
SWIR 1	S1	B11	B6	B5	B6
SWIR 2	S2	B12	B7	B7	B7
Thermal 1	T1		B10	B6
Thermal 2	T2		B11

Additional index parameters also follow a standard:

g: Gain factor (e.g. Used for EVI).
L: Canopy background adjustment (e.g. Used for SAVI and EVI).
C1: Coefficient 1 for the aerosol resistance term (e.g. Used for EVI).
C2: Coefficient 2 for the aerosol resistance term (e.g. Used for EVI).
cexp: Exponent used for OCVI.
nexp: Exponent used for GDVI.
alpha: Weighting coefficient used for WDRVI.
sla: Soil line slope.
slb: Soil line intercept.

The kernel indices are constructed using a special type of parameters:

kAB: Kernel of bands/parameters A and B (e.g. kNR means k(N,R), where k is the kernel function).
p: Kernel degree (used for the polynomial kernel).
c: Free parameter that trades off the influence of higher-order versus lower-order terms (used for the polynomial kernel).

Filter indice based on satellites

Hi, Is there a way to filter out indices that aren't supported by a particular satellite? For example, red edge-related indices can't be calculated with Landsat and will return error like below. It would be nice to filter out indices that aren't supported for a predefined list of indices. Cheers, Daniel EEException: Collection.first: Error in map(ID=LC09_090079_20211106): Image.select: Pattern 'NDREI' did not match any bands.

QST: When is used N2 rather than N ?

Hello,

I was wondering when the band N2 is used rather than N. Ideed, for example for NDREI the formula is: (N - RE1) / (N + RE1) even if the RE1 band is at 20m gsd. Shouldn't it be more logical to use N2 which is 20m native and has a better spectral resolution ?

(I'm assuming that N2 == N for other satellites than Sentinel-2)

OSAVI formula

Hello,

I don't know if I'm wrong, but the OSAVI formula from IDB - Index Database is different from yours 😅

Basically, there is an added coefficient in (1+ L) with L = 0.16

Add number of citations via CrossRef
I wrote a short script to lookup the number of citations for each of the papers you have as a reference for each index and had two problems:

Crossref can't find the citation you use for NWI (although I think this is Crossref's problem, not your's)

You reference "Fire intensity, fire severity and burn severity: A brief review and suggested usage" for NBR but the original citation should be "Comparison of AVIRIS and Landsat ETM+ detection capabilities for burn severity" which has more citations, which makes a difference for me (as well as being the original non-grey literature citation for NBR.

I can send the (simple) code for adding the #of citations for each reference if you like. I really like the fact that Awesome Spatial Indices has the reference included.
