NSTv2 Algorithm Specification

NSTv2

The NSTv2 operator algorithm computes the NIR-SWIR-Temperature Version 2 from a given product.

The NSTv2 results from the following equation:

NSTv2 = (N - (S2 + T)) / (N + (S2 + T))

, where:

The bands are:

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


NSTv2-Flags

Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'nstv2_flags' with the following bit coding:

Bit Position Description
Bit 0 The computed value for NSTv2 is NAN or is Infinite
Bit 1 The computed value for NSTv2 is less than -1 (minus one)
Bit 2 The computed value for NSTv2 is greater than 1 (one)
