I am new at this, and so far have not been able to determine what software is being used or recommended. Most of the software I find is either to do panorama's or heavy duty 3D. I assume Agisoft works, but is expensive.
Georeferenced or not?
Where is the GPS data coming from, camera, or autopilot-gps?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies. Yes, it is for crops, corn and beans. I am trying to help someone who is just starting out on this, so nothing too fancy or complicated yet. I was under the impression that ICE would not work. I will try that and see how it goes.
Thanks again.

Hi Deon,
For Agpixel , how do you create Mosaics ? . I saw it works only image by image and can't perform the Mosaic.
Which params. do you use for your NDVI calculations ? - there are many in Agpixel.
Which camera are you using ? I have a SX360 Converted to NIR, and flying on a Skywalker.
Thanks,
David Behr
Gegroet uit 'n warm RSA Deon! (Blyderivier, ou Oos Transvaal nou Mpumalanga). I'm planning to use Agpixel for NDVI. Will the Agisoft Standard adition be sufficient if I only use it to stich the images? Groete

Hey Christo, lekker om Afrikaans te sien!
Yeah, that is the way we use it. Agisoft for buiding the 3D model (Pix4D is another option), followed by an orthophoto with averaged reflectance values. Deriving a vegetation index and data sampling then takes place in AgPixel.
BTW, we are doing a lot of work in AgPixel to add more tools targeted at ag-applications.

I have been using Microsoft ICE
its free, and can work off videos or photos...
The interface is basic but its easy to use
