MIRBIMid-Infrared Burn Index

BurnMultispectralCitation Rank #158

Summary

The Mid-Infrared Burn Index (MIRBI) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2001; its source is cited as S. Trigg, & S. Flasse (2001). An evaluation of different bi-spectral spaces for discriminating burned shrub-savannah. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 22(13). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160110053185 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 49.84th percentile overall, ranking 158 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 41 indices published within two years of 2001, it ranks 32 (24.39th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 100th percentile and ranks 1 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
