Porównanie wartości NDVI odczytanych z obrazów satelitarnych NOAA AVHRR, SPOT-VEGETATION i TERRA MODIS

Recently in the space there are launched new series of environmental satellites with high time resolution, allowing continuous observations of the Earth’s surface. NOAA series of satellites, launched in 1998 SPOT or TERRA operating since 2000, provide daily data acquisition of large areas. Differences between the construction of instruments and means of processing cause disparity in the received data. This article presents a comparison of NDVI index obtained from these satellites. Compositions used in the ten-day NDVI images made on the basis of NOAA AVHRR images, NDVI compositions performed on the basis of images from SPOT VEGETATION as well as eight-day MODIS TERRA NDVI compositions. Area of the research are agricultural areas of Wielkopolska. NDVI index was measured on 193 polygons with surfaces from 1.5÷68.9 ha during the growing season from 10th to 24th decade of 2006. Another comparison has been made for NDVI values for the region of Wielkopolska in the years 2000÷2008 and the size of yield of wheat.
