| GM2 Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The GM2 operator algorithm computes the Gitelson
and Merzlyak Index 2 from a given
product.
The GM2 results from the following equation:
GM2 = RE2 / RE1
, where:
The bands are:
- RE1 is the Red Edge 1 band
- RE2 is the Red Edge 2 band
- R is the Red band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'gm2_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for GM2 is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for GM2 is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for GM2 is greater than 1 (one) |
