| GOSAVI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The GOSAVI operator algorithm computes the Green
Optimized Soil Adjusted
Vegetation Index from a given
product.
The GOSAVI results from the following equation:
GOSAVI = (N - G) / (N + G + 0.16)
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- N is the NIR band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'gosavi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for GOSAVI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for GOSAVI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for GOSAVI is greater than 1 (one) |
