| ExR Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The ExR operator algorithm computes the Excess
Red Index from a given product.
The ExR results from the following equation:
ExR = 1.3 * R - G
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'exr_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for ExR is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for ExR is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for ExR is greater than 1 (one) |
