Zephyr Focus of an aircraft. Endurance of a Satellite

NDVI

Relative evaluation of the differences in

vegetation development

Sensitive to the light conditions, the

viewing angle, the sensor

Requires ground measurements calibration

to access biomass

(synchronized with the images)

Biophysical Parameters

Absolute quantification

of the biomass and the nitrogen

Independent from the viewing angle, the

sensor, and the light conditions

Ground measurements not necessary

Biophysical Parameters

Composite image performed over 13 days

(1 different colour per day)

Green cover fraction map

0 1

2 1 3 4 Easy and native comparison

along time and over extended AOIs for an efficient monitoring

Robust When using different

sensors / angles

Absolute Quantification of

plant parameters

Independent Of light

conditions

Free Of ground
