Summary
The Visible Green-Based Built-Up Index (VgNIRBI) is a urban spectral index intended for multispectral sensing. It was introduced in 2015; its source is cited as Ronald C. Estoque, & Yuji Murayama (2015). Classification and change detection of built-up lands from Landsat-7 ETM+ and Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS imageries: A comparative assessment of various spectral indices. Ecological Indicators, 56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2015.03.037 .
Based on the latest citation data, this index is in the 46.01th percentile overall, ranking 170 out of 313 indices with citation data. Among the 25 indices published within two years of 2015, it ranks 12 (56th percentile). Within the urban application domain, it is in the 52.63th percentile and ranks 10 out of 19 indices with citation data. Among the 3 similarly aged urban indices, it ranks 1 (100th percentile).
