MRBVIModified Red Blue Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #228

Summary

The Modified Red Blue Vegetation Index (MRBVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2020; its source is cited as Yahui Guo, Hanxi Wang, Zhaofei Wu, Shuxin Wang, Hongyong Sun, J. Senthilnath, Jingzhe Wang, Christopher Robin Bryant, & Yongshuo Fu (2020). Modified Red Blue Vegetation Index for Chlorophyll Estimation and Yield Prediction of Maize from Visible Images Captured by UAV. Sensors, 20(18). https://doi.org/10.3390/s20185055 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 27.48th percentile overall, ranking 228 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 73 indices published within two years of 2020, it ranks 38 (49.32th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 20.85th percentile and ranks 168 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 37 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 17 (56.76th percentile).
