| SAVI2 Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The SAVI2 operator algorithm computes the
Soil-Adjusted Vegetation
Index 2 from a given product.
The SAVI2 results from the following equation:
SAVI2 = N / (R + (slb / sla))
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
- sla is the Soil line slope coefficient
- slb is the Soil line intercept coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'savi2_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for SAVI2 is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for SAVI2 is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for SAVI2 is greater than 1 (one) |
