URBR5Untransformed Reflectance Band Ratio 5

VegetationHyperspectralCitation Rank #121

Summary

The Untransformed Reflectance Band Ratio 5 (URBR5) is a vegetation spectral index intended for hyperspectral sensing. It was introduced in 1998; its source is cited as Bisun Datt (1998). Remote Sensing of Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b, Chlorophyll a+b, and Total Carotenoid Content in Eucalyptus Leaves. Remote Sensing of Environment, 66(2). https://doi.org/10.1016/s0034-4257(98)00046-7 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 65.93th percentile overall, ranking 121 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 41 indices published within two years of 1998, it ranks 33 (43.9th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 53.99th percentile and ranks 110 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 36 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 32 (38.89th percentile).
