Summary
The Non-Linear Vegetation Index (NLI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1994; its source is cited as Narendra S. Goel, & Wenhan Qin (1994). Influences of canopy architecture on relationships between various vegetation indices and LAI and Fpar: A computer simulation. Remote Sensing Reviews, 10(4). https://doi.org/10.1080/02757259409532252 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 58.47th percentile overall, ranking 131 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 29 indices published within two years of 1994, it ranks 29 (3.45th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 44.55th percentile and ranks 118 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 28 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 28 (3.57th percentile).
