Comparative analysis of normalised difference spectral indices derived from MODIS for detecting surface water in flooded rice cropping systems.

Identifying managed flooding in paddy fields is commonly used in remote sensing to detect rice. Such flooding, followed by rapid vegetation growth, is a reliable indicator to discriminate rice. Spectral indices (SIs) are often used to perform this task. However, little work has been done on determin...
