NSTv2NIR-SWIR-Temperature Version 2

BurnMultispectralThermalCitation Rank #232

Summary

The NIR-SWIR-Temperature Version 2 (NSTv2) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral and thermal sensing. It was introduced in 2011; its source is cited as S. Veraverbeke, S. Harris, & S. Hook (2011). Evaluating spectral indices for burned area discrimination using MODIS/ASTER (MASTER) airborne simulator data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 115(10). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2011.06.010 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 26.52th percentile overall, ranking 232 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 26 indices published within two years of 2011, it ranks 20 (30.77th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 35.29th percentile and ranks 13 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 2 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 2 (100th percentile).
