Summary
The Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2002; its source is cited as A Huete, K Didan, T Miura, E.P Rodriguez, X Gao, & L.G Ferreira (2002). Overview of the radiometric and biophysical performance of the MODIS vegetation indices. Remote Sensing of Environment, 83(1-2). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(02)00096-2 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 99.04th percentile overall, ranking 4 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 49 indices published within two years of 2002, it ranks 1 (100th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 98.58th percentile and ranks 4 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 41 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
