VegetationRadarCitation Rank #284

Summary

The VV-VH Sum (VVVHS) is a vegetation spectral index intended for radar sensing. It was introduced in 2021; its source is cited as J. Alvarez-Mozos, J. Villanueva, M. Arias, & M. Gonzalez-Audicana (2021). Correlation Between NDVI and Sentinel-1 Derived Features for Maize. 2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS. https://doi.org/10.1109/igarss47720.2021.9554099 .

Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 11.67th percentile overall, ranking 284 out of 317 indices with citation data. Among the 60 indices published within two years of 2021, it ranks 50 (23.33th percentile). Within the vegetation application domain, it is in the 11.74th percentile and ranks 192 out of 213 indices with citation data. Among the 35 similarly aged vegetation indices, it ranks 29 (28.57th percentile).
