Summary
The Enhanced Modified Bare Soil Index (EMBI) is a soil spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2022; its source is cited as Yongquan Zhao, & Zhe Zhu (2022). ASI: An artificial surface Index for Landsat 8 imagery. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2022.102703 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 10.22th percentile overall, ranking 282 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 50 indices published within two years of 2022, it ranks 33 (36th percentile). Within the soil application domain, it is in the 11.76th percentile and ranks 16 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged soil indices, it ranks 3 (33.33th percentile).
