VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #1

Summary

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1973; its source is cited as J. Rouse, R. H. Haas, J. A. Schell, & D. Deering (1973). Monitoring vegetation systems in the great plains with ERTS. https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19740022614 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 100th percentile overall, ranking 1 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 2 indices published within two years of 1973, it ranks 1 (100th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 100th percentile and ranks 1 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 2 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
