This document discusses using satellite imagery and vegetation indices to analyze and map vegetation. It summarizes several research papers on using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) with different sensors and techniques. Specifically, it examines calculating NDVI from mountain terrain satellite data, using selected bands from Sentinel-2 satellite data for agriculture applications, extracting buildings from satellite images using shadow detection, and applying NDVI to unmanned aerial system multispectral remote sensing for post-disaster assessment. The document also discusses preprocessing techniques and algorithms like random forests and support vector machines for satellite image classification.
