Agricultural Indices

Research-grade data

​Data files built for statistical analysis (means, SDs, frequency distributions)

All indices are “normalized” by measuring sun energy for each measurement, taking into account sun angle and cloud cover.  This allows “apples-to-apples” comparison throughout the season, and season-to-season.

​We are always available to help you or your consultant interpret and manipulate your data to suit your individual requirements

Picture
OSAVI (Early season)
Maps variability in canopy density and is not sensitive to changing soil brightness
MSAVI2 (Early season)
Similar to OSAVI but optimized for rangeland
Picture
Picture
NDVI (Mid season)
Reveals variability in plant vigor and biomass, often not visible in standard RGB color imagery

NDRE (Late season)
Photosynthesis levels, optimize harvest times based on transitions of photosynthesis activity
Picture
Picture
Orthomosaic
Similar to a satellite photo but much higher resolution, zoomable, georectified

GNDVI (Secondary)
Used to determine water and nitrogen uptake into the crop canopy
