I’m trying to generate NWI images from the Planet 4 band imagery in QGIS. Should I use
NDWI = (Band 2 - Band 4) / (Band 2 + Band 4)
or as a QGIS tutorial (Viewing a Flood Event with the Planet Explorer QGIS Plugin) suggests
NDWI = ((Band 2 * Band 2 coefficent) - (Band 4 * Band 4 coefficient)) / ((Band 2 * Band 2 coefficent) + (Band 4 * Band 4 coefficient))
The first option seems to give results closer to downloaded Sentinel 2 NDWI imagery, and I’ve not seen option 2 published outside of that tutorial.
NDWI = (Band 2 - Band 4) / (Band 2 + Band 4)
