| NDBaI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The NDBaI operator algorithm computes the
Normalized Difference
Bareness Index from a given
product.
The NDBaI results from the following equation:
NDBaI = (S1 - T) / (S1 + T)
, where:
The bands are:
- S1 is the SWIR 1 band
- T is the Thermal band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'ndbai_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for NDBaI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for NDBaI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for NDBaI is greater than 1 (one) |
