TriVITriangular Vegetation Index

VegetationMultispectralCitation Rank #39

Summary

The Triangular Vegetation Index (TriVI) is a vegetation spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2001; its source is cited as N.H Broge, & E Leblanc (2001). Comparing prediction power and stability of broadband and hyperspectral vegetation indices for estimation of green leaf area index and canopy chlorophyll density. Remote Sensing of Environment, 76(2). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(00)00197-8 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 87.86th percentile overall, ranking 39 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 41 indices published within two years of 2001, it ranks 16 (63.41th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 84.36th percentile and ranks 34 out of 211 indices with citation data. Among the 33 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 15 (57.58th percentile).
