What is NDVI and its Fundamental Advantages

In various industries such as agriculture, mining, and environmental services, the adoption of multispectral satellite-derived vegetation management is rapidly becoming a standard practice. The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a widely employed technique for vegetation analysis, proves invaluable in discerning disparities between visible and near-infrared (NIR) reflectance of vegetation. This technique gauges the health and density of land areas effectively.
