CVIChlorophyll Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #247

Summary

The Chlorophyll Vegetation Index (CVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2011; its source is cited as M. Vincini, & E. Frazzi (2011). Comparing narrow and broad-band vegetation indices to estimate leaf chlorophyll content in planophile crop canopies. Precision Agriculture, 12(3). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11119-010-9204-3 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 21.41th percentile overall, ranking 247 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 26 indices published within two years of 2011, it ranks 23 (15.38th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 17.06th percentile and ranks 176 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 8 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 8 (12.5th percentile).
