By measuring reflectances in multiple visible and near infrared bands, our Chlorophyll Index provides insights into plant nitrogen content in-season. More sensitive to nutrient differences than NDVI imagery, the Chlorophyll Index informs targeted tissue sampling, early yield predictions in row crops, and fertility management.
Color infrared
Color infrared (CIR) imagery incorporates near infrared (NIR), green, and red reflectances, resulting in a clearer display of vegetation and soil than RGB color imagery. Growers use CIR imagery for early-season monitoring of emergence, canopy density, and soil composition or water content.
NDVI
Not all NDVI imagery is created equal. Our meticulous attention to detail—from sensor calibration to image stitching and correction for atmospheric conditions—makes our delivery of this benchmark imagery best in class.
Thermal
Unlike similar products derived from satellite data, scientific-grade imagery from our plane-mounted thermal cameras reveals minute differences in temperature at a plant level. Ceres Imaging can accurately detect temperature differences of 0.1 degree Celsius between plants, with an absolute accuracy within 1 degree Celsius—the most accurate thermal imagery available for agriculture.
Water stress
Our Water Stress Index combines scientific-grade multispectral imagery—including a thermal layer— with proprietary algorithms. The result: an accurate and intuitive measure of crop stress in real time, which is key to detecting irrigation issues before they impact yield.
Center pivot analytics
Specifically designed for farmers and advisors managing more than 1,000 acres, the Center Pivot Analytics Suite automatically detects, prioritizes, and alerts you to irrigation issues in your fields, eliminating the need to sift through hundreds of individual images. Automatically generate VRA zones based on real-time, in-season data—and import directly to your applicator.
Specialty crop analyticsOur specialty crop analytics include the Varietal Tree Count tool, which provides accurate, automatic inventories that save the time and expense of clicker-counting.
