iCalendar: Satellite-based Field Map Calendar

Published by Agricultural Research Service | Department of Agriculture | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-11-22
GUI-based software coded in PYTHON to promote throughput image processing and analytics of a big dataset of satellite imagery and provide spatiotemporal monitoring of crop health conditions throughout the growing season by automatically illustrating 1) a field map calendar (FMC) with daily thumbnails of vegetation heatmaps in each month and 2) a seasonal Vegetation Index (VI) Profile of the crop fields. Output examples of FMC and VI Profile are found in files named in fmCalendar.jpg and NDVI_Profile.jpg, respectively, which were created satellite imagery on 5/1-10/31 in 2020 from a sugarbeet field in Moorhead, MN.
