NBRT2 Algorithm Specification

NBRT2

The NBRT2 operator algorithm computes the Normalized Burn Ratio Thermal 2 from a given product.

The NBRT2 results from the following equation:

NBRT2 = ((N / (T / 10000.0)) - S2) / ((N / (T / 10000.0)) + S2)

, where:

The bands are:

- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
- T is the Thermal band


NBRT2-Flags

Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'nbrt2_flags' with the following bit coding:

Bit Position Description
Bit 0 The computed value for NBRT2 is NAN or is Infinite
Bit 1 The computed value for NBRT2 is less than -1 (minus one)
Bit 2 The computed value for NBRT2 is greater than 1 (one)
