SAVISRSoil-Adjusted Vegetation Index with Simple Ratio

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #134

Summary

The Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index with Simple Ratio (SAVISR) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2003; its source is cited as Peng Gong, Ruiliang Pu, G.S. Biging, & M.R. Larrieu (2003). Estimation of forest leaf area index using vegetation indices derived from hyperion hyperspectral data. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 41(6). https://doi.org/10.1109/tgrs.2003.812910 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 58.15th percentile overall, ranking 134 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 59 indices published within two years of 2003, it ranks 34 (47.46th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 44.08th percentile and ranks 121 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 46 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 31 (39.13th percentile).
