Aerial Imaging Service
without
the Drone
We are currently working with a California based aerial imagery company called TerrAvion. They provide weekly imagery that allows farm management to improve uniformity in designated trouble-spots by closely monitoring the progress (or lack thereof) of interventions. Weekly imagery also optimizes scouting practices by saving time, travel, and attention. Images are processed and delivered to their online app around midnight of the day the image was taken.

NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)
What is NDVI?
In a nutshell, NDVI gives the viewer a glimpse into chlorophyll density of a given square inch of plant. This is a useful indicator of stress, vigor, and related trends visible over time. These qualitative values are an interpretation of real, quantitative values derived from red and near-infrared reflectance units.
The NDVI, or Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, is widely recognized as the most powerful kind of aerial imagery. For a general background on this kind of imagery, see NASA’s page on NDVI and EVI:

Color Infrared
Colored Infrared images shift the invisible infrared spectrum to the red spectrum which we can see. Chlorophyll is highly reflective of infrared light which shows up in the imagery as bright red. Essentially the brighter the red, the more chlorophyll production, the healthier the plant.

Thermal
Thermal imaging is becoming more useful tool to the grower all the time. Not only can it be used to detect water leaks and irrigation deficiencies, but it can show plant stress. When plants are transpiring they release moisture. The more the transpiration the healthier the plant.

Colored Image
Colored imagery is what you would see with your naked eye from a plane passing over your field. This image is mostly used to reference the NDVI, Colored Infrared and Thermal images to verify what you think you are seeing is true.
