RGBVIRed Green Blue Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #106

Summary

The Red Green Blue Vegetation Index (RGBVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2015; its source is cited as Juliane Bendig, Kang Yu, Helge Aasen, Andreas Bolten, Simon Bennertz, Janis Broscheit, Martin L. Gnyp, & Georg Bareth (2015). Combining UAV-based plant height from crop surface models, visible, and near infrared vegetation indices for biomass monitoring in barley. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2015.02.012 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 66.77th percentile overall, ranking 106 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 25 indices published within two years of 2015, it ranks 8 (76th percentile).
