MNLI Algorithm Specification

MNLI

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

MNLI-Flags

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)
