The power of Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer in sustainable agriculture

Precision agriculture

Latitudo 40's Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer represents a significant advancement for precision agriculture.


Precision agriculture is an innovative and technologically advanced approach that uses precision data and tools to optimize agricultural practices. Using technologies such as satellite sensors and drones, farmers can collect detailed information about their crops, such as moisture levels, nutrient levels, and chlorophyll levels. This data is then processed to create maps of variability within fields, enabling farmers to take targeted and customized interventions.

Precision agriculture brings many benefits, including greater efficiency in managing agricultural resources, reduced costs and environmental impact, and more sustainable, high-quality production.

Latitudo 40's Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer technology represents a further step forward in precision agriculture, offering practitioners a new tool to monitor and manage their crops even
more accurately and in greater detail. With this innovative technology, farmers will be able to obtain even more accurate and useful data to improve their farming practices and maximize yields


Using a super-resolution algorithm on Sentinel-2 satellite images, NDVI values are calculated from the red and near-infrared bands, enabling highly accurate and detailed analyses. This high-resolution NDVI layer is particularly valuable for:

●     Early detection of pest and disease infestations: Farmers can identify early signs of pest or disease infestations, allowing early intervention and reducing crop losses.

●     Water resource management: Detect areas prone to waterlogging and optimize irrigation systems to conserve water and improve crop health.

●     Crop health monitoring: Providing detailed insights into vegetation health, enabling better management practices and yield increases.

Improvement of greenery in agricultural landscapes

In addition to urban greenery, the Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer is valuable for vegetation management in agricultural landscapes:

●     Agroforestry: Monitoring the health of trees and shrubs integrated into agricultural systems, promoting biodiversity and soil health.

●     Buffer zones: Manage vegetative buffer zones to protect water quality and reduce soil erosion.

●     Conservation Practices: Support conservation practices by monitoring and managing vegetative cover in agricultural areas.

Definition and importance of NDVI in vegetation monitoring

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is an indicator that uses multispectral data to measure vegetation density and health. This index is based on the difference between red and near-infrared light reflections, two bands of the electromagnetic spectrum that are critical for monitoring vegetation. Red light is strongly absorbed by chlorophyll in plant leaves, while near-infrared light is reflected by leaf structure. The combination of these two data allows the NDVI to be calculated, providing an accurate snapshot of vegetation health.

Innovativeness and usefulness of NDVI's 1m resolution level

The 1-meter resolution level offered by Latitudo 40 represents a significant technological leap from previous standards. While many traditional NDVI datasets offer resolutions of 10 meters or more, the ability to observe vegetation health at 1-meter resolution allows for exceptional detail. This is particularly useful for applications that require a precise understanding of local conditions, such as the management of small agricultural plots, urban parks and green infrastructure.

NDVI level generation by satellite data and remote sensing

The Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer is generated using data collected from satellites, particularly the multispectral images from the Sentinel-2 satellite. This data is then processed using an advanced super-resolution algorithm, which improves the spatial resolution of the images. The process begins with the acquisition of the satellite images, followed by the application of image processing techniques to extract the red and near-infrared bands. These bands are then used to calculate the NDVI, which is further refined through machine learning algorithms to achieve the final 1-meter resolution.

Advantages of using high-resolution NDVI for agricultural monitoring

Agricultural monitoring and crop health analysis

Agricultural monitoring benefits greatly from the use of the Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer. It provides farmers with detailed data on the health of their crops, allowing them to quickly identify any problems such as disease or water stress. This is essential for agriculture monitoring and crop health analysis, as it enables timely and targeted interventions that can prevent serious production losses.

Crop yield estimates and predictive analysis

The Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer is also critical for crop yield estimation (crop yield estimation). Detailed data on crop health enable more accurate predictions of future yields, thereby improving resource planning and management. In addition, the use of machine learning algorithms on these data can further improve predictions by integrating historical and current information to provide accurate predictive analyses.

Field scouting and field data collection

Agriculture analytics benefits greatly from the use of the Super-resoluted 1m NDVI Layer for field scouting (field scouting). Drones and UAVs can use this data to perform detailed aerial inspections, identifying problem areas with precision. This allows farmers to target their resources where they are most needed, improving efficiency and reducing operational costs.
