Precision Agriculture Mapping

Medium and high-resolution satellite sensors can collect data to analyze crops and soil using green vegetation indices maps such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to produce yield and soil index maps. This data can help farmers and growers monitor and manage their fields for successful crop production. Satellite imagery and GIS data can help farmers and growers to better understand what is happening on the ground in real-time to help analyze soil health, climate change, disease, pest management, and provides knowledge for improved farming, crop protection, and getting the job done faster.

Farmers and growers require information on their fields and soil analysis is critical in order to keep their farms flourishing to increase their return on investment.

Soil Zone Maps

With a soil zone map, you can clearly see landscape variations, lighter colors indicate dry, salty, or coarsely textured soils, while darker colors indicate wet or organic soils. Often, variations in color indicate topographic variations across fields, which can greatly impact your crop management strategies and zone map creation for precision agriculture management applications.

Green Vegetation Indices (NDVI Maps)

Green vegetation index maps provide farmers an absolute measure of the amount of green vegetation presently in their fields and determine the health of the soil and moisture measurement. These maps show the integrated result of inputs and environmental, physical, and cultural factors affecting their crops.

Green vegetation maps are a significant revenue-enhancing tool that shows you were to scout and sample, the extent and severity of problem areas protect their crops, and to take action to resolve any potential problems including droughts and flooding.

FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions

How to find Geographic Coordinates in Google maps?

To find geographic coordinates in Google Maps, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Google Maps in your web browser or on your mobile device.

  2. Search for the location you want to find the geographic coordinates for by entering the address, landmark, or name of the place in the search bar at the top of the page.

  3. Once the location is displayed on the map, right-click (or long-press on mobile) the exact point on the map where you want to find the coordinates. This will open a small menu.

  4. In the menu that appears, click on “What’s here?” or “What’s here? – Coordinates” option. On mobile devices, you may need to tap on the location marker first to reveal the menu options.

  5. A small information box will appear at the bottom of the screen, displaying the latitude and longitude coordinates of the selected point. The coordinates will be shown in decimal degrees format.

  6. You can click on the coordinates in the information box to expand it and see the coordinates in different formats, such as degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) format.

To create a KML (Keyhole Markup Language) file in Google Earth, you can follow these steps:

  1. Download Google Earth Pro and Open on your computer.

  2. Navigate to the location or area you want to create a KML file for by using the search bar, zooming in/out, and panning on the map.

  3. Customize the view and layers in Google Earth Pro to include the specific data or elements you want to include in your KML file. This can include placemarks, paths, polygons, overlays, images, and more.

  4. Once you have set up the desired view and layers, go to the “Add” menu at the top of the screen and select the type of element you want to add (e.g., placemark, path, polygon, image overlay).

  5. Follow the prompts to add the specific element and provide the necessary information, such as location coordinates, name, description, and any additional properties or styling options.

  6. Repeat the previous step if you want to add more elements to your KML file.

  7. After adding all the desired elements, go to the “File” menu and select “Save Place As.”

  8. In the “Save Place As” dialog box, choose a location on your computer where you want to save the KML file.

  9. Specify the name of the KML file, ensuring it has the .kml extension (e.g., myfile.kmL), you may need to select KML as GoogleEarth defaults to KMZ formats.

  10.  Click the “Save” button to save the KMZ file to the specified location on your computer.

Satellite map raw files refer to the unprocessed and unedited data captured by satellite sensors. These files contain the raw data received by the satellite sensors, including the reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation from the Earth’s surface.

Satellite map raw files typically come in specialized formats specific to each satellite sensor or provider. These formats may include formats like GeoTIFF (georeferenced Tagged Image File Format) or ENVI (Environment for Visualizing Images). The raw files preserve the original sensor readings, which can include various spectral bands, radiometric information, and geometric parameters.

Raw files require processing to convert them into usable formats, such as georeferenced images or digital elevation model(DEM). Processing steps may involve radiometric and geometric corrections, atmospheric compensation, calibration, orthorectification, and mosaicking, among others.

Once processed, raw files can provide valuable information for various GIS data applications, including 3D terrain maps, agriculture production maps, vegetation maps, and disaster maps.

To download satellite maps from an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Obtain the FTP server information: Get the FTP server details from the satellite maps provider or the source you are accessing. This includes the FTP server address, username, password, and potentially the directory path to the imagery files.

  2. Choose an FTP client: Select an FTP client software or application that allows you to connect to the FTP server and perform file transfers. Some popular options include FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck, or the built-in FTP functionality of certain web browsers.

  3. If you are unable to download an FTP client due to software locks, Windows has a built in FTP Protocol that can be accessed by copying the URL of the FTP server in your Windows File Explorer.

  4. Depending on the method to connect to the FTP, you will need credentials including a Username and Password to access these file.

  5. Most FTP clients will allow you to Copy and Paste or Drag and Drop the files from the client window to your local files.

Remember to comply with any terms and conditions associated with the satellite map data, including usage restrictions, licensing agreements, and any attribution requirements specified by the provider.
