TTVI Algorithm Specification

TTVI

The TTVI operator algorithm computes the Transformed Triangular Vegetation Index from a given product.

The TTVI results from the following equation:

TTVI = 0.5 * ((865.0 - 740.0) * (RE3 - RE2) - (pow(N , 2) - RE2) * (783.0 - 740))

, where:

The bands are:

- RE2 is the Red Edge 2 band
- RE3 is the Red Edge 3 band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band


TTVI-Flags

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

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