The system identifies and estimates distribution of 5 major tree species found in Dang District:
| Species | Scientific Name | Typical Distribution |
|---|---|---|
| 🌲 Teak | Tectona grandis | 30-40% |
| 🌳 Sal | Shorea robusta | 25-30% |
| 🎋 Bamboo | Bambusa spp. | 15-25% |
| 🥭 Mango | Mangifera indica | 10-15% |
| 🌿 Neem | Azadirachta indica | 5-10% |
Distribution varies based on forest density, elevation, and spectral signatures.
NDVI = (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red)
- Range: -1 to +1
- Healthy vegetation: 0.6 to 0.9
- Sparse vegetation: 0.2 to 0.4
NDVI > 0.7 → 180 trees/hectare (very dense forest)
NDVI 0.6-0.7 → 150 trees/hectare (dense forest)
NDVI 0.4-0.6 → 80 trees/hectare (medium density)
NDVI 0.3-0.4 → 30 trees/hectare (sparse forest)
NDVI < 0.3 → 10 trees/hectare (very sparse)
Total Trees = Area (hectares) × Trees per hectare
Health Score = (NDVI - 0.2) / 0.7 × 100
Normalized to 0-100 scale based on vegetation health.
✅ Large-area forest monitoring (50-1000+ hectares)
✅ Cost-effective (free satellite data)
✅ Regular updates (Sentinel-2 revisit: 5 days)
✅ Multi-spectral analysis
✅ Scientifically validated methods
Sentinel-2's 10-meter resolution is designed for landscape-level monitoring, not individual tree counting. This system uses industry-standard density estimation methods employed by:
- Forest Survey of India (FSI)
- FAO Global Forest Resources Assessment
- NASA Earth Observation programs
- International forestry research institutions
Requires high-resolution imagery (0.3-1m per pixel) from:
- Drones/UAVs
- Aerial photography
- Very high-resolution satellites (WorldView, Pleiades)
GET /api/v1/healthReturns server status.
GET /api/v1/satellite-coverageReturns available satellite imagery bounds and center coordinates.
POST /api/v1/analyze
