MCARIOSAVI Algorithm Specification

MCARIOSAVI

The MCARIOSAVI operator algorithm computes the MCARI/OSAVI Ratio from a given product.

The MCARIOSAVI results from the following equation:

MCARIOSAVI = (((RE1 - R) - 0.2 * (RE1 - G)) * (RE1 / R)) / (1.16 * (N - R) / (N + R + 0.16))

, where:

The bands are:

- G is the Green band
- RE1 is the Red Edge 1 band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band


MCARIOSAVI-Flags

Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'mcariosavi_flags' with the following bit coding:

Bit Position Description
Bit 0 The computed value for MCARIOSAVI is NAN or is Infinite
Bit 1 The computed value for MCARIOSAVI is less than -1 (minus one)
Bit 2 The computed value for MCARIOSAVI is greater than 1 (one)
