SeLI Algorithm Specification

SeLI

The SeLI operator algorithm computes the Sentinel-2 LAI Green Index from a given product.

The SeLI results from the following equation:

SeLI = (pow(N , 2) - RE1) / (pow(N , 2) + RE1)

, where:

The bands are:

- RE1 is the Red Edge 1 band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band


SeLI-Flags

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

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