MIRBI Algorithm Specification

MIRBI

The MIRBI operator algorithm computes the Mid-Infrared Burn Index from a given product.

The MIRBI results from the following equation:

MIRBI = 10.0 * S2 - 9.8 * S1 + 2.0

, where:

The bands are:

- S1 is the SWIR 1 band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band


MIRBI-Flags

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

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