Description

Vegetation greenness assessment using Green Chromatic Coordinate as proxy for evapotranspiration rates. Calculates green reflectance normalized by total visible flux from masked vegetation areas.

Typical Equipment

  • RGB color analysis algorithms

Output Measurements

  • vegetation greenness
  • greenup timing
