Where is plant stress?

What is NDVI?

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a simple numerical indicator that can be used to analyze remote sensing measurements and assess whether the target being observed contains live green vegetation or not. The reason NDVI is related to vegetation is that healthy vegetation reflects very well in the near infrared part of the spectrum. NDVI provides a crude estimate of vegetation health and a means of monitoring changes in vegetation over time.

 

We make use of two methods to do NDVI monitoring:

 

  1. Aerial Photography – We make use of a TETRACAM camera that is specifically designed for NDVI aerial photos. Follow this link for an example.

 

  1. On land surveillance – We make use of NTECH handheld NDVI scanner. The scanner can be operated by foot or it can be mounted on a vehicle e.g. a quad-motorcycle or tractor.
