IRECIInverted Red-Edge Chlorophyll Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #78

Summary

The Inverted Red-Edge Chlorophyll Index (IRECI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2013; its source is cited as William James Frampton, Jadunandan Dash, Gary Watmough, & Edward James Milton (2013). Evaluating the capabilities of Sentinel-2 for quantitative estimation of biophysical variables in vegetation. ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2013.04.007 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 75.4th percentile overall, ranking 78 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 29 indices published within two years of 2013, it ranks 4 (89.66th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 67.3th percentile and ranks 70 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 12 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
