CIgreen Calculator

Block type: PROCESSING

This block takes photos from an optical satellite and calculates Chlorophyll Index Green (CIgreen). It produces georeferenced single band GeoTIFF file with matrix containing CIgreen values. Such files can be manually colorized in QGIS with singleband pseudocolor. It is possible to read CIgreen value for particular pixel with Identify Features tool.

Supported parameters

  • satellite - the name of the block providing input data. See section Supported data blocks for valid values.

Example parameters using Sentinel-2 Level 2 (BOA) AOI clipped block as data source:
