Traditional RGB analysis misses 60% of early stress signals. NDVI's near-infrared sensing detects chlorophyll changes 2-3 weeks faster. Our sensors capture data at 1.2cm/pixel resolution – 15x sharper than satellite imagery. See the difference:
Metric | NDVI | Traditional VI |
---|---|---|
Early Detection | 14-21 days | 45-60 days |
Cloud Compatibility | ✅ Real-time sync | ❌ Manual upload |

Q: What is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)?
A: NDVI is a numerical indicator derived from remote sensing data to assess vegetation health. It calculates the difference between near-infrared and red light reflectance. Values range from -1 to 1, with higher values indicating denser, healthier vegetation.
Q: How is NDVI used in agriculture?
A: NDVI helps monitor crop health, predict yields, and optimize irrigation. It identifies stressed areas in fields for targeted management. Farmers and researchers use satellite or drone imagery to generate NDVI maps.
Q: What formula calculates the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index?
A: NDVI = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red), where NIR and Red are reflectance values. This formula emphasizes vegetation's strong NIR reflectance and red light absorption. Sensors on satellites or drones provide these spectral bands.
Q: Why is NDVI widely adopted over other vegetation indices?
A: NDVI is simple to compute and interpret, with proven reliability for vegetation analysis. It effectively distinguishes vegetation from non-vegetated surfaces. Its global standardization supports cross-study comparisons.
Q: What are the limitations of NDVI?
A: NDVI can saturate in dense vegetation and is sensitive to soil brightness. It doesn’t account for atmospheric interference without correction. Complementary indices like EVI are often used for nuanced analysis.
