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 4.1th percentile overall, ranking 305 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 31 indices published within two years of 2024, it ranks 22 (32.26th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 2.82th percentile and ranks 208 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 20 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 15 (30th percentile).
