cfastie "Great progress Pat. The Wratten 25 photos are really sharp. They should allow very good NDVI images. Also, nice car. The blemish looks a lot like..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "It's good to know about the NDRE. Instead of computing the difference between reflected NIR and reflected red light, I think NDRE replaces reflecte..." | Read more » about 10 years ago

cfastie "Rita, If you are using two cameras, one unmodified and one to capture an NIR image, the best filter to use in the NIR camera is one that blocks all..." | Read more » about 10 years ago

cfastie "Grayson, The NDVI images look excellent. Just to clarify a few things, I think the following are true: The NIR camera has had its IR block filter..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "Nice photo. The NDVI results look quite believable, even for that complicated scene. In Fiji, when a fresh NDVI image is active, select Process/Ma..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "The camera can't distinguish between NIR and other wavelengths, so it assumes that light getting to the blue pixels is mostly blue, light hitting t..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
cfastie "The Fiji plugin doesn't subtract anything, it just assumes you have a visible channel and a NIR channel. Once you remove the IR block filter, there..." | Read more » about 10 years ago
