| EBI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The EBI operator algorithm computes the Enhanced
Bloom Index from a given product.
The EBI results from the following equation:
EBI = (R + G + B) / ((G / B) * (R - B + epsilon))
, where:
The bands are:
- B is the Blue band
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
- epsilon is the Epsilon coefficient parameter
coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'ebi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for EBI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for EBI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for EBI is greater than 1 (one) |
