| EVI2 Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The EVI2 operator algorithm computes the Two-Band
Enhanced Vegetation Index
from a given product.
The EVI2 results from the following equation:
EVI2 = g * (N - R) / (N + 2.4 * R + l)
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- g is the Gain factor coefficient
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'evi2_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for EVI2 is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for EVI2 is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for EVI2 is greater than 1 (one) |
