| WI2015 Algorithm Specification | ![]() |
The WI2015 operator algorithm computes the Water
Index 2015 from a given product.
The WI2015 results from the following equation:
WI2015 = 1.7204 + 171 * G + 3 * R - 70 * N - 45 * S1 - 71 *
S2
, where:
The bands are:
- G is the Green band
- R is the Red band
- N is the NIR band
- S1 is the SWIR 1 band
- S2 is the SWIR 2 band
Also the processor computes an additional flags band called 'wi2015_flags' with the following bit coding:
| Bit Position | Description |
|---|---|
| Bit 0 | The computed value for WI2015 is NAN or is Infinite |
| Bit 1 | The computed value for WI2015 is less than -1 (minus one) |
| Bit 2 | The computed value for WI2015 is greater than 1 (one) |
