| DVIplus Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The DVIplus operator algorithm computes the
Difference Vegetation
Index Plus from a given product.
The DVIplus results from the following equation:
DVIplus = ((lambdaN - lambdaR) / (lambdaN - lambdaG)) * G +
(1.0 - ((lambdaN - lambdaR) / (lambdaN - lambdaG))) * N -
R
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
- lambdaN is the NIR wavelength used for NIRvH2 and
NDGI coefficient
- lambdaR is the Red wavelength used for NIRvH2 and
NDGI coefficient
- lambdaG is the Green wavelength used for NDGI
coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'dviplus_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for DVIplus is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for DVIplus is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for DVIplus is greater than 1 (one) |
