Summary
The VI6T Index (VI6T) is a burn spectral index intended for multispectral and thermal sensing. It was introduced in 2005; its source is cited as Z. A. Holden, A. M. S. Smith, P. Morgan, M. G. Rollins, & P. E. Gessler (2005). Evaluation of novel thermally enhanced spectral indices for mapping fire perimeters and comparisons with fire atlas data. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 26(21). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160500239008 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 30.03th percentile overall, ranking 227 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 46 indices published within two years of 2005, it ranks 41 (19.57th percentile). Within the burn application domain, it is in the 58.82th percentile and ranks 11 out of 17 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged burn indices, it ranks 8 (60th percentile).
