Agri-Images / Real-Shot™ Imagery
AGRI-TREND can provide access to satellite and aerial imagery for an overhead view of your field.
Vegetative indices such as NDVI can be used to generate management zones for ground-truthing, sampling and product application. Other Agri-Images can include ordinary aerial photographs, soil zone maps, EC maps, digital elevation maps or field derived vegetative maps through technologies such as GreenSeeker™.
Real-Shot™ Imagery
Real-Shot™ Imagery, provided through AGRI-TREND Agrology, offers farm clients a "real shot" of what exactly is going on in their fields within the season and from season to season. Covering many areas of Prairie Provinces, Real-Shot™ Imagery offers leading-edge remote-sensed imagery for use in the agriculture and environmental industries. The Real-Shot™ Imagery package includes geo-referenced, 1-meter resolution geo-tiff images in natural color, false-color infrared, NDVI and 4-Band. Advantages of Real-Shot™ include aerial capture below cloud cover, capture dates that give you more control and in-season decision making support tools.
The geo-referenced image capture and processing allows for import into controllers and the ground-truthing ability that is key to understanding the in-field variability. Ground-truthing the images in the field can show variability caused by the management of compaction, drainage, drought, topography, residue, manure, summer fallow, herbicide, nutrients, mechanical errors or hail. The near-infrared wavelength capture gives the ability of the user to see into the inner cell structure of the plant and easily separate soil and water from plant material.
