| OSAVI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The OSAVI operator algorithm computes the
Optimized Soil-Adjusted
Vegetation Index from a given
product.
The OSAVI results from the following equation:
OSAVI = (N - R) / (N + R + 0.16)
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'osavi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for OSAVI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for OSAVI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for OSAVI is greater than 1 (one) |
