| EBBI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
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
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) |
