In-season Potential ScoreπŸ”—

πŸ“– OverviewπŸ”—

The In-season Potential Score analytic provides an indicator of the in-season potential score in comparison to the past years, based on cumulative NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). It serves as a benchmark to compare field performance across different areas within a region or across previous years.

The figure below illustrates the expected NDVI development for a typical annual grain crop. The analytic transforms the NDVI time series into a potential score, enabling comparisons between fields in the same region or across historical seasons.

GlossaryπŸ”—

Term Description
NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) Index that measures vegetation health based on visible and near-infrared light reflectance. Values range from -1 to 1, with higher values indicating denser, healthier vegetation.
MR / LR Image resolutions: MR (Medium Resolution) and LR (Low Resolution). Define the spatial detail level of the NDVI data used.
Season Duration Duration of the crop season, in days, used to calculate cumulative NDVI.
Season Start Day / Month Day and month marking the beginning of the crop season. Define the starting point for NDVI accumulation.
Threshold NDVI value used as a cutoff to determine relevant vegetative activity.
End Date Date until which the in-season NDVI is accumulated.
Potential Score Indicator of the productive potential of an area based on cumulative NDVI during the season.
Historical Potential Score Mean of potential scores from previous seasons.
In-season Potential Score Cumulative NDVI-based score for the current season up to the specified end date.
Relative Potential Score Ratio (in %) of in-season score to historical potential score.
WKT (Well-Known Text) Standard format for representing spatial geometries such as polygons, points, and lines.
AOI (Area of Interest) User-defined area for analysis.
