GIS and Solid Waste Management

I don’t want to protect the environment. I want to create a world where the environment doesn’t need protection.    -Anonymous Solid Waste Management – Concept Nowadays it is hard to find areas of human activity and development that have not harmed or affected the environment. Commercial, physical and social activities tend to produce solid… Continue reading GIS and Solid Waste Management

Remote Sensing Technology: The Mainstay of Digital Agriculture

Introduction Remote sensing, the ability to obtain information about an area or object without direct physical contact, in today’s time, acts as one of the biggest inputs for data-driven smart agriculture. “Digital agriculture” which is the use of new and advanced technology to enable smarter and more sustainable food production, depends largely on the availability… Continue reading Remote Sensing Technology: The Mainstay of Digital Agriculture

Significance of Spectral Indexes in Accurate Vegetation Analysis

Many sensors carried aboard satellites measure red and near-infrared light waves reflected by land surfaces. Using mathematical formulas (algorithms), one can transform raw satellite data about these light waves into vegetation indices. A vegetation index is an indicator that describes the greenness i.e. the relative density and health of vegetation, for each pixel in a… Continue reading Significance of Spectral Indexes in Accurate Vegetation Analysis
