NBRplus Algorithm Specification

NBRplus

The NBRplus operator algorithm computes the Normalized Burn Ratio Plus from a given product.

The NBRplus results from the following equation:

NBRplus = (S2 - N2 - G - B) / (S2 + N2 + G + B)

, where:

The bands are:

- B is the Blue band
- G is the Green band
- N2 is the NIR 2 band
- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band


NBRplus-Flags

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

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