NBLIOLI Algorithm Specification

NBLIOLI

The NBLIOLI operator algorithm computes the Normalized Difference Bare Land Index for Landsat-OLI from a given product.

The NBLIOLI results from the following equation:

NBLIOLI = (R - T1) / (R + T1)

, where:

The bands are:

- R is the Red band
- T1 is the Thermal 1 band
- T is the Thermal band


NBLIOLI-Flags

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

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