Abstract

This paper considers methods of estimating the state of various vegetation including agricultural from remote sensing data (satellite monitoring). This paper discusses the possibility of using the analysis of vegetation indices (VI) deviations from “normal” time variation based method for specific objects and regions to estimate the state of vegetation. The problems of constructing the “normal” VI time series for different regions are discussed. Special attention is paid to possibilities of using the “VEGA” satellite service created in IKI for research of Northern Eurasia vegetation to implement the proposed approach.
