"Just as an FYI, I didn't create the False-NDVI index. I agree that this index should be showing up healthier. But a company that processes A LOT of agricultural maps came up with this index, and I uploaded some imagery to give it a try. They need…"
"That can happen when the reflectance is so low. From previous flights with multiple RGB cameras, some shades of green don't reflect as much as other shades of green. So it may be more green, but the camera is so sensitive that it doesn't register…"
"This article was coming from the perspective of a grower (farmer). They may fly over the crops more than once, but they only look at one dataset at a time. So in agriculture, right now the "False-NDVI" is mainly used from one flight of an RGB…"
"Often people are just flying RGB, and so the false-NDVI map is created simply by adding an index to the map. They only have R,G,and B to work with.
This article shows that since the dynamic ranges of a false-NDVI is so small (no matter what…"

"Thanks for the comments! I may have condensed the article too much. Both of the flights were within minutes of each other, which isn't perfect, but with time constraints on my end it happened :)
A plant absorbs about %90-95 of the visible light,…"

I had time for a quick research project about using CIR(Near infrared) cameras, RGB cameras, and what those sensors can really provide for mapping vegetation. This article's purpose is to show the value of using Color Infrared (Near Infrared)…
