NDVI Dynamic

NDVI - The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a remote sensing index that quantifies and measures the health and density of vegetation by comparing the reflectance of visible and near-infrared light, with higher NDVI values indicating healthier and denser vegetation.

Dynamic Range NDVI Heatmap - In this type of heatmap, the color scale is adjusted individually for each NDVI image, with the min and max NDVI values of that specific image serving as the reference points for color mapping.

Chlorophyll
Content

The Relative Chlorophyll Content Index is a remote sensing index used to estimate the chlorophyll concentration in vegetation, typically derived from spectral reflectance measurements, with higher values indicating higher chlorophyll content and healthier plants.

GNDVI Dynamic

The Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (GNDVI) is a remote sensing index that focuses on the green band of the electromagnetic spectrum to assess vegetation health and density, with higher GNDVI values indicating healthier and denser green vegetation.

Dynamic Range GNDVI Heatmap - In this type of heatmap, the color scale is adjusted individually for each GNDVI image, with the min and max NDVI values of that specific image serving as the reference points for color mapping.

NDVI Standard

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a remote sensing index that quantifies and measures the health and density of vegetation by comparing the reflectance of visible and near-infrared light, with higher NDVI values indicating healthier and denser vegetation.

Standard NDVI Heatmap - In this type of heatmap the color scale is fixed between the values 0 to 1. The color palette ranges from red to green.
