Summary
The Vegetation Index Built-up Index (VIBI) is a urban spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2012; its source is cited as Demetris Stathakis, Konstantinos Perakis, & Igor Savin (2012). Efficient segmentation of urban areas by the VIBI. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 33(20). https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2012.687842 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 18.85th percentile overall, ranking 255 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 27 indices published within two years of 2012, it ranks 27 (3.7th percentile). Within the urban application domain, it is in the 10.53th percentile and ranks 18 out of 19 indices with citation data. Among the 10 similarly aged urban indices, it ranks 10 (10th percentile).
