| MNLI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The MNLI operator algorithm computes the Modified
Non-Linear Vegetation
Index from a given product.
The MNLI results from the following equation:
MNLI = (1 + l) * (pow(N , 2) - R) / (pow(N , 2) + R +
l)
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'mnli_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for MNLI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for MNLI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for MNLI is greater than 1 (one) |
