"""Example of server-side computations used in global forest change analysis.

In this example we will focus on server side computation using NDVI and EVI
data. This both metrics are computed bands created by third party companies
or directly taken by the satellites.

NDVI and EVI are two metrics used in global forest change analysis. They
represent the forest concentration in a specific area. We will use the
MOD13A1 vegetation indice provided by the NASA [1].

The goal is to generate an RGB image, where reds stands for deforestation,
gree for reforestation and blue for masked data (e.g. rivers, oceans...).
