Indices used for the CPC mangroves.

Index type Name Index Formula Reference
Specific optical
indices for mangroves
Modular Mangrove Recognition Index MMRI=|MNDWI||NDVI|/|MNDWI|+|NDVI| [50]
Mangrove Vegetation Index MVI=|NIR||GREEN|/|SWIR1||GREEN| [51]
Mangrove Index MI=(NIRSWIR)/(NIR*SWIR)*10000 [52]
Normalized Difference Mangrove Index NDMI=(SWIR2GREEN)/(SWIR2+GREEN) [53]
Combined Mangrove Recognition Index CMRI=(NDVINDWI) [54]
SAR Index Radar Forest Degradation Index RFDI=σHH°σHV°/σHH°+σHV° [46]

Where: NIR = near infrared band, RED = red band, SWIR = shortwave infrared band, MIR = middle infrared band.

NDVI = Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDWI = Normalized Difference Water Index.

MNDWI = Modified Normalized Difference Water Index, σHH° , σHV° = Backscattering of dual polarizations.
