Abstract:Throughout history, natural disasters have caused severe damage to people and properties worldwide. Flooding is one of the most disastrous types of natural disasters. A key feature of flood assessment has been making use of the information derived from remote-sensing imagery from optical sensors on satellites using spectral indices. Here, a study was conducted about a recent spectral index, the Normalised Difference Inundation Index, and a new ensemble spectral index, the Concatenated Normalised Difference Wat… Show more
