Forest Monitoring

The Forest Monitoring node function processes satellite imagery for an identified area of interest (AOI) to monitor vegetation using the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). It calculates and categorizes the NDVI, applies a vegetation threshold, masks the results to the specified AOI, colorizes the categorized NDVI and vegetation layers for visualization, and calculates the area in hectares of different vegetation quality classes within the AOI.

  • AoI, to select the Area of Interest to apply the Forest Monitoring on.
  • Date Selector, to select the time interval to download the satellite imagery and apply the Forest Monitoring.

Outputs:
