| MTVI2 Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The MTVI2 operator algorithm computes the Modified
Triangular Vegetation
Index 2 from a given product.
The MTVI2 results from the following equation:
MTVI2 = (1.5 * (1.2 * (N - G) - 2.5 * (R - G))) /
pow((pow((2.0 * N + 1) , 2) - (6.0 * N - 5 * pow(R , 0.5)) - 0.5) ,
0.5)
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'mtvi2_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for MTVI2 is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for MTVI2 is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for MTVI2 is greater than 1 (one) |
