The initial analysis of plant health imagery within Cropwise Explorer begins in the Map View. Within the Map View, plant health images can be selected to enable fields to be explored, patterns identified, opportunities uncovered, and threats detected in real-time.
Viewing and Filtering Images
To begin viewing plant health imagery in Cropwise Explorer, start by selecting a Workspace on the MyCropwise page.
Next, select an Organization to work within.
Once the Organization's Farm List is displayed, select the desired Farm.
The Map View for the selected farm will be displayed, and the most recent image will be shown.
Selecting the Image Date will open a dropdown menu of all available images. Each available image will display one of three cloud presence icons:

The image list can be filtered based on Date selection, Cloud presence and Source.
Cropwise Explorer utilizes Sentinel satellite imagery as the main source of plant health imagery. Sentinel images have a 10-meter image resolution, are captured every 3 to 5 days, and are available for the previous 10 years for historical analysis.
The NDVI Index legend, visible in the Map Controls menu, is measured from 0 (red) to 1 (green). A vegetation index is used to measure plant health by calculating how much light the plant is absorbing and using for growth.
Areas within fields showing a light green to dark green color, values closer to 1, will indicate the presence of more and healthier plant vegetation.
Areas within fields showing a yellow to red color, values closer to 0, will indicate the presence of less plant vegetation and less healthier plants.
