| VIBI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The VIBI operator algorithm computes the
Vegetation Index Built-up
Index from a given product.
The VIBI results from the following equation:
VIBI = ((N - R) / (N + R)) / (((N - R) / (N + R)) + ((S1 - N)
/ (S1 + N)))
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
- S1 is the SWIR 1 band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'vibi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for VIBI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for VIBI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for VIBI is greater than 1 (one) |
