Basic Maps Package Group of tools for visual analysis and mapping of fields with collaborative annotation and delineation capacities.
  • Orthophoto with reflectance maps (for multispectral sensor) and DSM and
  • Spectral index maps:
  • Bird View (RGB)
  • Crop Vigor (NDVI)
  • Green Biomass (MCARI2)
  • Greenness (VARI)
  • Chlorophyll content (NDRE)
  • Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI)

Varies from minutes to hours - depending on the size of the dataset
