MSR Algorithm Specification

MSR

The MSR operator algorithm computes the Modified Simple Ratio from a given product.

The MSR results from the following equation:

MSR = (N / R - 1) / pow((N / R + 1) , 0.5)

, where:

The bands are:

- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band


MSR-Flags

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

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