Summary
The Dual-Polarized Radar Vegetation Index HH (DpRVIHH) is a vegetation spectral index intended for radar sensing. It was introduced in 2012; its source is cited as Mélanie Trudel, F. Charbonneau, & R. Leconte (2012). Using RADARSAT-2 polarimetric and ENVISAT-ASAR dual-polarization data for estimating soil moisture over agricultural fields. Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 38. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.5589/m12-043 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 31.63th percentile overall, ranking 215 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 27 indices published within two years of 2012, it ranks 18 (37.04th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 21.8th percentile and ranks 166 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 8 (30th percentile).
