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