TTVITransformed Triangular Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #249

Summary

The Transformed Triangular Vegetation Index (TTVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2019; its source is cited as Naichen Xing, Wenjiang Huang, Qiaoyun Xie, Yue Shi, Huichun Ye, Yingying Dong, Mingquan Wu, Gang Sun, & Quanjun Jiao (2019). A Transformed Triangular Vegetation Index for Estimating Winter Wheat Leaf Area Index. Remote Sensing, 12(1). https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12010016 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 20.77th percentile overall, ranking 249 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 68 indices published within two years of 2019, it ranks 48 (30.88th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 16.59th percentile and ranks 177 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 34 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 22 (38.24th percentile).
