WRI Algorithm Specification

WRI

The WRI operator algorithm computes the Water Ratio Index from a given product.

The WRI results from the following equation:

WRI = (G + R) / (N + S1)

, 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


WRI-Flags

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

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