SLAVI Algorithm Specification

SLAVI

The SLAVI operator algorithm computes the Specific Leaf Area Vegetation Index from a given product.

The SLAVI results from the following equation:

SLAVI = N / (R + S2)

, where:

The bands are:

- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band


SLAVI-Flags

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

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