Tan a Daear Aerial Imaging

06/14/2026

So here are the results from yesterday's flight. The two bottom images are from June 3rd and June 12th. You can see the increase in general green up. These images are processed with the Green Leaf index. The top image is the same data, same colour ramp but processed as Excess Green index.

Next step is into the field for ground trotting and see what those darker patches represent! Stay tuned.

Sending the drone off for more hay field survey work

So I was out ground truthing my Green Leaf index Vegetative index from May 27. Happy to see a high correlation between stand height/density and the GLI number. The darker the green on the map, the thicker and denser the grass. Each pixel on the iPad is approximately 3cm square. You can see the difference between the upper field on the right and the lower field on the left. Irrigation on the upper field was started about 14 days after the lower field.

If you want to know more about how this is done, message me!

Here's how we can use orthomosiac data to monitor green up on our fields. The data is taken from a series of flights this spring with the base orthomosiac taken on May 17th.

Red means no growth activity, the light blue is the start of greening up and the darker the green, the higher the Green Leaf index number.

You can put this map on your phone and then walk the field to check what's happening at the red data and compare the different levels of the GLI index.

If you were doing row crops, you could see weak/no growth and also see any weeds coming up between the rows.

Recent 160 acre project elevations
Over 600 ft elevation range so the terrain following with the drone maintains a constant ground sampling distance

The elevation data for the terrain following comes from NASA. It was mapped 26 years ago by a radar system on the space shuttle
