| NDWIns Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The NDWIns operator algorithm computes the
Normalized Difference
Water Index with no Snow
Cover and Glaciers from a given
product.
The NDWIns results from the following equation:
NDWIns = (G - alpha * N) / (G + N)
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
- alpha is the Weighting coefficient used for WDRVI,
BWDRVI and NDPI coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'ndwins_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for NDWIns is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for NDWIns is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for NDWIns is greater than 1 (one) |
