| MuWIR Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The MuWIR operator algorithm computes the Revised
Multi-Spectral Water
Index from a given product.
The MuWIR results from the following equation:
MuWIR = - 4.0 * ((B - G) / (B + G)) + 2.0 * ((G - N) / (G +
N)) + 2.0 * ((G - S2) / (G + S2)) - ((G - S1) / (G + S1))
, where:
The bands are:
- B is the Blue band
- G is the Green band
- N is the NIR band
- S1 is the SWIR 1 band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'muwir_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for MuWIR is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for MuWIR is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for MuWIR is greater than 1 (one) |
