RENDVI Algorithm Specification

RENDVI

The RENDVI operator algorithm computes the Red Edge Normalized Difference Vegetation Index from a given product.

The RENDVI results from the following equation:

RENDVI = (RE2 - RE1) / (RE2 + RE1)

, where:

The bands are:

- RE1 is the Red Edge 1 band
- RE2 is the Red Edge 2 band
- R is the Red band


RENDVI-Flags

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

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