CMASK

BDC acquires CBERS-4 Surface Reflectance Image Collections containing a cloud mask called Cmask. Cmask uses 3 different pixel values to map Clear, a Cloud or No data pixels. For CBERS-4 Data Cubes the CMASK band is generated by compositing the existent Image Collection CMASK bands. In BDC CBERS-4 products these values are remapped to the same as other BDC products, as can be seen in the following Table:
