VI700 Algorithm Specification

VI700

The VI700 operator algorithm computes the Vegetation Index (700 nm) from a given product.

The VI700 results from the following equation:

VI700 = (RE1 - R) / (RE1 + R)

, where:

The bands are:

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


VI700-Flags

Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'vi700_flags' with the following bit coding:

Bit Position Description
Bit 0 The computed value for VI700 is NAN or is Infinite
Bit 1 The computed value for VI700 is less than -1 (minus one)
Bit 2 The computed value for VI700 is greater than 1 (one)
