Summary
The Triangular Chlorophyll Index (TCI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2008; its source is cited as Driss Haboudane, Nicolas Tremblay, John R. Miller, & Philippe Vigneault (2008). Remote Estimation of Crop Chlorophyll Content Using Spectral Indices Derived From Hyperspectral Data. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 46(2). https://doi.org/10.1109/tgrs.2007.904836 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 53.67th percentile overall, ranking 146 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 34 indices published within two years of 2008, it ranks 22 (38.24th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 39.81th percentile and ranks 128 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 16 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 12 (31.25th percentile).
