CCI Algorithm Specification

CCI

The CCI operator algorithm computes the Chlorophyll Carotenoid Index from a given product.

The CCI results from the following equation:

CCI = (G1 - R) / (G1 + R)

, where:

The bands are:

- G1 is the Green 1 band
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band


CCI-Flags

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

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