Wheat Crop Classification based on NDVI using Sentinel Time Series: A Case Study Saharanpur Region

The NDVI is an extensively used numerical indicator that utilizes the NIR and red band of the EM spectrum. It is waged to analyse and evaluate the ground locations for the presence of live green vegetation by using remote sensing images. This paper provides an analysis of the utility of NDVI in mapping the wheat crop of selected area of Saharanpur region, Uttar Pradesh, India. Images of Sentinel 2B were collected from November 16, 2018 to April 15, 2019. A total of 16 different date satellite images were analysed to calculate NDVI values of same region. For land cover classification various indices are used. Vegetation, sparse vegetation and dense vegetation can be identified by computing NDVI. In this article 16 different sentinel images of Saharanpur region are processed to identify the wheat crop on the basis of NDVI values. the graph shows high NDVI values in the month of march.
