| WDRVI Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The WDRVI operator algorithm computes the Wide
Dynamic Range Vegetation
Index from a given product.
The WDRVI results from the following equation:
WDRVI = (alpha * N - R) / (alpha * N + R)
, where:
The bands are:
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
and the coefficients are:
- l is the Canopy background adjustment
coefficient
- alpha is the Weighting coefficient used for WDRVI,
BWDRVI and NDPI coefficient
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'wdrvi_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for WDRVI is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for WDRVI is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for WDRVI is greater than 1 (one) |
