Abstract

Index-based geospatial analysis may include applying a first and second index-based analysis for a set of imagery. The set of imagery may include a location-specific index values used to form a histogram for a single index image (e.g., for a single surveyed field). This first analysis may be referred to as an 'acre-to-acre' mapping, which may be useful for identifying differences in indices (e.g., NDVI vegetative health) of different parts of the field from a single day. A second 'day-to-day' index-based analysis may be performed by calculating a histogram for each set of imagery from multiple days, combining the histograms, and generating a single equal-area index map. The index map can be applied to redistribute the histogram values within multiple days of data, which may provide a more useful map of variation in each individual image and changes between images.
