Summary
The Triangular Greenness Index (TGI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2013; its source is cited as E. Raymond Hunt, Paul C. Doraiswamy, James E. McMurtrey, Craig S.T. Daughtry, Eileen M. Perry, & Bakhyt Akhmedov (2013). A visible band index for remote sensing leaf chlorophyll content at the canopy scale. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2012.07.020 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 53.35th percentile overall, ranking 147 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 29 indices published within two years of 2013, it ranks 8 (75.86th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 39.34th percentile and ranks 129 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 12 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 5 (66.67th percentile).
