DpRVIHHDual-Polarized Radar Vegetation Index HH

VegetationRadarCitation Rank #217

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 31.86th percentile overall, ranking 217 out of 317 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 21.6th percentile and ranks 168 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 8 (30th percentile).
