| BAI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The BAI operator algorithm computes the Burned
Area Index from a given product.
The BAI results from the following equation:
BAI = 1.0 / (pow((0.1 - R) , 2.0) + pow((0.06 - N) ,
2.0))
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'bai_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for BAI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for BAI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for BAI is greater than 1 (one) |
