NDREINormalized Difference Red Edge Index

Summary

The Normalized Difference Red Edge Index (NDREI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1994; its source is cited as Anatoly Gitelson, & Mark N. Merzlyak (1994). Quantitative estimation of chlorophyll-a using reflectance spectra: Experiments with autumn chestnut and maple leaves. Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 22(3). https://doi.org/10.1016/1011-1344(93)06963-4 🡕.

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 79.55th percentile overall, ranking 65 out of 313 indices with citation data.
