Summary
The Improved-Red-Green-Blue Vegetation Index (IRGBVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2024; its source is cited as Cheng Chen, Xiping Yuan, Shu Gan, WeiDong Luo, Rui Bi, RaoBo Li, & Sha Gao (2024). A new vegetation index based on UAV for extracting plateau vegetation information. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2024.103668 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 6.07th percentile overall, ranking 297 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 30 indices published within two years of 2024, it ranks 16 (56.67th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 6.16th percentile and ranks 201 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 20 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 10 (65th percentile).
