EBBI Algorithm Specification

EBBI

The EBBI operator algorithm computes the Enhanced Built-Up and Bareness Index from a given product.

The EBBI results from the following equation:

EBBI = (S1 - N) / (10.0 * pow((S1 + T) , 0.5))

, where:

The bands are:

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


EBBI-Flags

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

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