| DBI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The DBI operator algorithm computes the Dry
Built-Up Index from a given
product.
The DBI results from the following equation:
DBI = ((B - T1) / (B + T1)) - ((N - R) / (N + R))
, where:
The bands are:
- B is the Blue band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
- T1 is the Thermal 1 band
- T is the Thermal band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'dbi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for DBI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for DBI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for DBI is greater than 1 (one) |
