VARI is a measure of “how green” an image is. VARI is not intended as a substitute for an NIR camera, but it is meaningful when working with non-NDVI imagery. RGB images with the VARI algorithm applied make it possible to detect areas of crop stress in a field.":1,"#There are two main types of NIR cameras: Modified RGB cameras for Near Infrared and Multispectral Cameras. These tend to be more expensive in general, but there are a wide variety of options available on the market to choose from. Let’s take a closer look.":1,"#We recommend you use the algorithm that is intended for the type of imagery you collect. Start with the RGB no matter how serious you are about measuring crop variability with drones, you can always move up from there and increase your investment.":1,"#What Type of Plant Health Algorithm Should I Use?":1,"#Benefits of Modified RGB and Multispectral Cameras":1,"#Near Infrared (NIR) Cameras":1,"#Plant Health Algorithms Enable Growers and Agronomists to Identify Crop Variance":1,"#The Ultimate Guide to Drones on the Farm | DroneDeploy":1},"version":25858}]
