NSTv1 Algorithm Specification

NSTv1

The NSTv1 operator algorithm computes the NIR-SWIR-Temperature Version 1 from a given product.

The NSTv1 results from the following equation:

NSTv1 = ((N - S2) / (N + S2)) * T

, where:

The bands are:

- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
- T is the Thermal band


NSTv1-Flags

Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'nstv1_flags' with the following bit coding:

Bit Position Description
Bit 0 The computed value for NSTv1 is NAN or is Infinite
Bit 1 The computed value for NSTv1 is less than -1 (minus one)
Bit 2 The computed value for NSTv1 is greater than 1 (one)
