| NDVIT Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The NDVIT operator algorithm computes the
Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index Thermal
from a given product.
The NDVIT results from the following equation:
NDVIT = (N - (R * T / 10000.0)) / (N + (R * T /
10000.0))
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
- T is the Thermal band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'ndvit_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for NDVIT is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for NDVIT is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for NDVIT is greater than 1 (one) |
