Summary
The Red Chromatic Coordinate (RCC) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1987; its source is cited as Alan R Gillespie, Anne B Kahle, & Richard E Walker (1987). Color enhancement of highly correlated images. II. Channel ratio and “chromaticity” transformation techniques. Remote Sensing of Environment, 22(3). https://doi.org/10.1016/0034-4257(87)90088-5 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 72.84th percentile overall, ranking 88 out of 313 indices with citation data.
