GOSAVIGreen Optimized Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #182

Summary

The Green Optimized Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (GOSAVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2005; its source is cited as Ravi P. Sripada, Ronnie W. Heiniger, Jeffrey G. White, & Randy Weisz (2005). Aerial Color Infrared Photography for Determining Late‐Season Nitrogen Requirements in Corn. Agronomy Journal, 97(5). https://doi.org/10.2134/agronj2004.0314 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 42.17th percentile overall, ranking 182 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 46 indices published within two years of 2005, it ranks 28 (41.3th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 29.38th percentile and ranks 150 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 31 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 22 (32.26th percentile).
