RI4XSSPOT HRV XS-based Redness Index 4

SoilMultispectralCitation Rank #180

Summary

The SPOT HRV XS-based Redness Index 4 (RI4XS) is a soil spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 1998; its source is cited as Renaud Mathieu, Marcel Pouget, Bernard Cervelle, & Richard Escadafal (1998). Relationships between Satellite-Based Radiometric Indices Simulated Using Laboratory Reflectance Data and Typic Soil Color of an Arid Environment. Remote Sensing of Environment, 66(1). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(98)00030-3 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 43.45th percentile overall, ranking 180 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 41 indices published within two years of 1998, it ranks 38 (14.63th percentile). Within the soil application domain, it is in the 76.47th percentile and ranks 7 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged soil indices, it ranks 3 (100th percentile).
