Remote Sensing is used intensively in the agricultural sector, especially for measuring quantity and quality of crops. Thanks to hyperspectral sensors, the type of vegetation in a certain area can be determined, it's quantity and its quality. Also indices like moisture or evaporation can be calculated this way.
This makes remote sensing a crucial source of information. Not only farmers, but also agricultural organisations and development institutions can measure the state of crops and the effect of certain measurements. By comparing images of the same area over time, increase or decrease of the desired indices can be calculated.
ERDAS IMAGINE contains a broad spectrum of functionality for calculating indices like an NDVI, classification of sensor imagery in types vegetation, and offers the ability to construct models with this functionality and expert systems. All through a comprehensive and user friendly interface. This makes ERDAS IMAGINE the world's 's leading geospatial data authoring software.
