Design and Development of Calculation System for Normalized Difference in Vegetation Index (NDVI) Using Landsat 8 Satellite Image

Abstract

Abstract The satellite image is a Earth’s surface image recorder that is performed without physical contact with the object. Satellite imagery can also be used as a solution to get the information of a wide area that is covered by vegetation. Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is an index depicting the level of a green plant with a combined tally of the Visible Red Band and the Near Infrared Band. Visible Red Band is the band of Landsat satellite image 8 whereas Near Infrared Band is a band 5 of Landsat satellite image 8. This research intends to build a system of counting of NDVI data by making use of satellite images Landsat 8 on the special region of Yogyakarta. The equation used in this study is the equation correction between Visible Red Band and Near Infrared Band from Landsat 8 satellite imagery and NDVI equation. Zoom functions and masking is also built into the system so it can be more focused on the area that wants to the canvas. The results of this research are in the form of value and a map of the NDVI that have been colors segmented in the Province of Yogyakarta.
