OCVI Algorithm Specification

OCVI

The OCVI operator algorithm computes the Optimized Chlorophyll Vegetation Index from a given product.

The OCVI results from the following equation:

OCVI = pow((N / G) * (R / G) , cexp)

, where:

The bands are:

- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band


and the coefficients are:

- cexp is the Exponent used for OCVI coefficient

OCVI-Flags

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

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