Remote sensing of Vegetation

Vegetation Indices-120   Maps and Multi-Time Analysis of Vegetation Indexes

Satellite imagery analysis enables a systematic and efficient process of controlling natural, environmental and land resources over time. Combining data from Earth Observation (satellite imagery) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) you can make maps and vegetation studies for different purposes.

With the new satellites you can monitor vegetation in a cheaper and accessible way and on an almost weekly basis.

Examples: Vegetative Vigour Maps (NDVI Index), Culture Coefficient Maps kc, Vegetation Index Maps, Irrigated Area Maps, Biomass Maps.

NDVI Multi-Time Index Series

PROS

The use of satellite data for the preparation of vegetation maps is a cheap and fast method to obtain quantitative information about the state and type of vegetation. Compared to the surveys in the field alone, the method allows you to map large areas at a low cost quickly and to obtain spatialized and georeferenced information. In addition, remote sensing is the only method of obtaining historical analyses, using available data acquired from earlier times.

How it works

We use satellite images captured by different satellites (Sentinel, Landsat, Geoeye, Rapideye, DMC, etc.) processed with the most advanced procedures that take into account the spectral response of vegetation in different wavelengths (from blue infrared). The procedures are validated with a series of measures in full field on specific targets for their validation. The ground measurements are complementary to remote observations, both because the functionality of the latter is linked to the accuracy of the calibration/validation procedure, and because they allow to complete the observational basis necessary for a correct understanding and/or modelling processes.
