OSAVIOptimized Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #17

Summary

The Optimized Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (OSAVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1996; its source is cited as Geneviève Rondeaux, Michael Steven, & Frédéric Baret (1996). Optimization of soil-adjusted vegetation indices. Remote Sensing of Environment, 55(2). https://doi.org/10.1016/0034-4257(95)00186-7 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 94.95th percentile overall, ranking 17 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 47 indices published within two years of 1996, it ranks 7 (87.23th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 93.9th percentile and ranks 14 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 43 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 6 (88.37th percentile).
