SAVI2 Algorithm Specification

SAVI2

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

SAVI2-Flags

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)
