| RGBVI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The RGBVI operator algorithm computes the Red
Green Blue Vegetation
Index from a given product.
The RGBVI results from the following equation:
RGBVI = (pow(G , 2.0) - B * R) / (pow(G , 2.0) + B *
R)
, where:
The bands are:
- B is the Blue band
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'rgbvi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for RGBVI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for RGBVI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for RGBVI is greater than 1 (one) |
