Here at Satyukt, we make this possible by doing a combined analysis of NDVI (Vegetation Index) and SM (Soil...
Normalized Difference Index(NDVI) in a simple metric indicates the health of green vegetation. It is a widely used index to monitor vegetation. NDVI ranges from -1 to +1, with NDVI value close to zero means less or no vegetation and close to +1 (0.8 – 0.9) indicates the highest possible density of green leaves....
Andhra Pradesh’s economy is mainly based on agriculture and livestock, hence it is imperative to have a keen eye on soil moisture. Satyukt Analytics Private Limited uses a very helpful algorithm to keep a check on soil moisture in real-time using MAPSM which helps track the soil conditions throughout the year. The image shows...
