Hi Adu,

I'm afraid your question is a little too broad. As you mentioned, these are widely used and accepted indices in remote sensing. It completely depends on what your analysis/research question is. There are also many papers comparing the results of similar indices. This list also runs the gamut from land to water to fire and urban, and others. So context matters here. What are you trying to analyze?

Best,

Vance
