I am having a bit of trouble getting my end result photo as "colour sensitive" as I would like,

I have seen a few photos uploaded onto here that are very good and you can clearly see separation between Higher Photosynthesis and lower,

example this image..

my images are ending up a bit different and not as colour sensitive like this..

Im not sure if its because my image isnt a high enough quality when I export it or Stitch all the photos together. I am wondering if anyone has any advice for me to maybe make my images a bit more sensitive like the first photo I posted?

thanks

The NDVI image looks pretty good to me, but I don't know much about your process or expectations. Fill us in and we might be able to help (guidelines here). Also, There might be more interested eyes looking at the plots-infrared discussion forum, where it is easier for respondents to add images, etc.

It looks like the arbors are lower NDVI than the paths between them (but I am guessing about your color mapping). Is that what you would expect?

Have you custom white balanced your Infrablue camera?

That was an issue for me.

Hi, can you post your raw Infragram image? So we can try?

Hello,

you can also play with the Digital Numbers focusing on the values you are interested (see histogram and min/max values), you can use many free GIS software like QGIS ( www.qgis.org) .By doing it you might stress the differences in the vegetation.
