DSI Algorithm Specification

DSI

The DSI operator algorithm computes the Drought Stress Index from a given product.

The DSI results from the following equation:

DSI = S1 / N

, where:

The bands are:

- N is the NIR band
- S1 is the SWIR 1 band


DSI-Flags

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

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