| BWDRVI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The BWDRVI operator algorithm computes the Blue
Wide Dynamic Range
Vegetation Index from a given
product.
The BWDRVI results from the following equation:
BWDRVI = (alpha * N - B) / (alpha * N + B)
, where:
The bands are:
- B is the Blue band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
- alpha is the Weighting coefficient used for WDRVI,
BWDRVI and NDPI coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'bwdrvi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for BWDRVI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for BWDRVI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for BWDRVI is greater than 1 (one) |
