Do I have to have a special camera to capture NDVI information or can I use the standard RGB camera that comes with the drone?

Updated April 02, 2024 09:09

Yes, to apply the NDVI algorithm you have to have a modified camera that captures some combination of Near-Infrared, Green, and Blue light. However, you can use a standard RGB camera to apply the VARI algorithm.
