| CSIT Algorithm Specification | |
The CSIT operator algorithm computes the Char
Soil Index Thermal from a
given product.
The CSIT results from the following equation:
CSIT = N / (S2 * T / 10000.0)
, where:
The bands are:
- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
- T is the Thermal band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'csit_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for CSIT is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for CSIT is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for CSIT is greater than 1 (one) |
