| NBR Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The NBR operator algorithm computes the Normalized
Burn Ratio from a given product.
The NBR results from the following equation:
NBR = (N - S2) / (N + S2)
, where:
The bands are:
- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'nbr_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for NBR is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for NBR is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for NBR is greater than 1 (one) |
