Benjamin Meltzer replied to Benjamin Meltzer's discussion NDVI NGB Modified Camera Configuration in Agricultural UAVs
"We are currently attempting this method. As Deon suggested it is obviously more computationally intensive however we do expect the results to drastically improve our NDVI images.

We are looking to use image-registration algorithms to produce…"

Benjamin Meltzer replied to Benjamin Meltzer's discussion NIR Camera vs RGB Camera Conversion in Agricultural UAVs
"Baie dankie Deon! We are aware that we need both types of sensor, however we were considering mounting the two cameras on a single gimbal. We do need good data and both options you suggested look great. Would you happen to know of any South African…"
