| MRBVI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The MRBVI operator algorithm computes the Modified
Red Blue Vegetation
Index from a given product.
The MRBVI results from the following equation:
MRBVI = (pow(R , 2.0) - pow(B , 2.0)) / (pow(R , 2.0) + pow(B
, 2.0))
, where:
The bands are:
- B is the Blue band
- R is the Red band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'mrbvi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for MRBVI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for MRBVI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for MRBVI is greater than 1 (one) |
