Summary
The Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index Thermal (SAVIT) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral and thermal sensing. It was introduced in 2007; its source is cited as A. M. S. Smith, N. A. Drake, M. J. Wooster, A. T. Hudak, Z. A. Holden, & C. J. Gibbons (2007). Production of Landsat ETM+ reference imagery of burned areas within Southern African savannahs: comparison of methods and application to MODIS. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 28(12). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160600954704 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 39.75th percentile overall, ranking 194 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 41 indices published within two years of 2007, it ranks 29 (36.59th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 88.89th percentile and ranks 5 out of 18 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 4 (90th percentile).
