Crop Health Monitoring
Multispectral camera remote sensing imaging technology use Green, Red, Red-Edge and Near Infrared wavebands to capture both visible and invisible images of crops and vegetation.
The multispectral images integrate with specialized agriculture software which output the information into meaningful data.
This land telemetry, soil and crop data allow the grower to monitor, plan and manage the farm more effectively saving time and money along with reducing the use of pesticides.
In this article, we explain the basics of multispectral imaging technology, reflectance, wavebands and vegetation indices such as NDVI and NDRE. All this information gives the farmer terrific insights into the health of the soil and plants.
Multi spectral Camera
Team FxUAV attach the multispectral camera with agricultural drone and the drone while spraying takes the pictures. This provides us the data of the plant health at the time of spray. After 1 week we use another drone to take the images of the same field to get the effectiveness of the spraying.

RGB Image of cucumber plantation
This image is taken by the visual Camera (RGB). This camera gives the actual image of the field.
NDVI Image of cucumber plantation
This image is taken by a multispectral camera. The image is processed and the NDVI image is extracted. Such images looks black and white.
LUT Image of cucumber plantation
This is a LUT image of the NDVI image where we add colors to the image to get the clear points of the affected areas
