| NDCI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The NDCI operator algorithm computes the
Normalized Difference
Chlorophyll Index from a given
product.
The NDCI results from the following equation:
NDCI = (RE1 - R) / (RE1 + R)
, where:
The bands are:
- RE1 is the Red Edge 1 band
- R is the Red band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'ndci_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for NDCI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for NDCI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for NDCI is greater than 1 (one) |
