Abstract:
1. A method for generating index raster files associated with an area of interest (AOI) using a computer coupled to a remote sensing device via a network, wherein the computer includes an input device, a display, and a memory, the method comprising: receiving, by the computer, only three image raster files relating to the AOI from the remote sensing device; receiving at least one set of three spectral control points (SCPs) via the input device; generating, by the computer, at least two independent vegetation index (VI) raster files based on the image raster files and the at least one set of three SCPs; generating, by the computer, a soil brightness index (SBI) raster file based on the image raster files and the at least one SCP; storing each of the SBI raster file and the at least two VI raster files into the memory; and selectively displaying, via the display, at least one of the SBI raster file and the at least two VI raster files.
