ENDVIEnhanced Normalized Difference Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #264

Summary

The Enhanced Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (ENDVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2017; its source is cited as Conor J. Strong, Niall G. Burnside, & Dan Llewellyn (2017). The potential of small-Unmanned Aircraft Systems for the rapid detection of threatened unimproved grassland communities using an Enhanced Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. PLOS ONE, 12(10). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0186193 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 15.97th percentile overall, ranking 264 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 51 indices published within two years of 2017, it ranks 45 (13.73th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 14.69th percentile and ranks 181 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 22 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 18 (22.73th percentile).
