IPVIInfrared Percentage Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #104

Summary

The Infrared Percentage Vegetation Index (IPVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1990; its source is cited as R CRIPPEN (1990). Calculating the vegetation index faster. Remote Sensing of Environment, 34(1). https://doi.org/10.1016/0034-4257(90)90085-z .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 67.09th percentile overall, ranking 104 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 15 indices published within two years of 1990, it ranks 12 (26.67th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 55.92th percentile and ranks 94 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 15 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 12 (26.67th percentile).
