REMOTE SENSING IN AGROSLAB
On 3 May, a webinar was held to present the new remote sensing module of AGROSLAB.
This module includes two indices of great interest to know the evolution of crops:
- NDVI Index, which stands for Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, commonly known as the greenness index, as it indicates the vegetative vigour, i.e. the greenness, density and health of the existing vegetation on the analysed plot.
- NDMI Index, Normalised Difference Moisture Index, which detects moisture levels in the vegetation and is therefore considered a good indicator of plant water.
The comparative temporal graphical analysis tools integrated in AGROSLAB allow us to know the temporal evolution of the indices at a given point or site and compare it with another point of the same or another site, and even for two different agricultural campaigns, which facilitates management and decision making in relation to farms.
In addition to the agricultural context, as in this case, at GEOSLAB we also use satellite maps to monitor the state or evolution of the soil in urban contexts, as in the surface temperature viewer of IDEZAR, the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Zaragoza.
