BCC Algorithm Specification

BCC

The BCC operator algorithm computes the Blue Chromatic Coordinate from a given product.

The BCC results from the following equation:

BCC = B / (R + G + B)

, where:

The bands are:

- B is the Blue band
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band


BCC-Flags

Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'bcc_flags' with the following bit coding:

Bit Position Description
Bit 0 The computed value for BCC is NAN or is Infinite
Bit 1 The computed value for BCC is less than -1 (minus one)
Bit 2 The computed value for BCC is greater than 1 (one)
