CSI Algorithm Specification

CSI

The CSI operator algorithm computes the Char Soil Index from a given product.

The CSI results from the following equation:

CSI = N / S2

, where:

The bands are:

- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band


CSI-Flags

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

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