Analysis of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) multi-temporal series for the production of forest cartography

This study aims to produce a forest raster cartography, valid for the Italian territory and characterized by a spatial resolution of 10 m, using remote sensing techniques. In detail, Sentinel-2 multispectral images have been used in order to obtain Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) value...

Summary:This study aims to produce a forest raster cartography, valid for the Italian territory and characterized by a spatial resolution of 10 m, using remote sensing techniques. In detail, Sentinel-2 multispectral images have been used in order to obtain Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values, useful to distinguish vegetation among all the different other kinds of land cover. •Sentinel-2 multi-spectral images for forest monitoring.•NDVI temporal series analysis for trees mapping.•Dynamic Threshold Method for spectral indices temporal series analysis.•NDVI summer max index elaboration for forest land cover classification.
