Is it possible to take a video, instead of pictures, and analyse this to create the NDVI media?
If not, how could it be made?

Thanks for the responses. Lots of great advice.
The reason I ask is for my next thought.
Could you have a "Live" feed from the camera processing the image in realtime into NDVI image.
Could you connect the camera upto the processing software on the laptop. Move the camera over the crop, and have the image instantly processed.
This doesn't neccesariy involve a drone, it could be vehicle mounted for now, to avoid the creation of maps stage, but is essentially;
a camera, a cable, a laptop, and a program refreshing every time an image comes through or as the video feed records.
As the NDVI media is created, put into software that creates map of field according to gps position.
If a drone were to be used, surely the media could be sent to the laptop via wifi etc
This would mean-
A video is just a lot of still photos so I don't see why not. Just off the top of my head though it doesn't sound like a very good idea. There would be a lot more processing involved of all the extra frames of information for no advantage over one high resolution image that you can get by stitching together a series of stills.
Latest Pix4D allows you to import video and process it into ortho and 3D. I have not had chance to do it myself though
