High resolution NDVI over a farm in Karnataka
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 leaves1.
The above figure shows NDVI for a farm in Karnataka at the spatial resolution of 10m. The NDVI is high in most of the farm, while close to the boundary the NDVI value is very low, it might be due to the fence or barren land at farm boundary. The high-resolution NDVI data can be used to monitor the crop and identify the affected areas within the farm. Satyukt can monitor the farms in near real-time with the help of multi-satellite data.
