Satellite & Remote Sensing

Eyesotope integrates multiple remote sensing data sources to give you comprehensive environmental monitoring for every field. From real-time weather to 3D satellite visualizations, all data is accessible from the field detail page sidebar.

​

Satellite Imagery

​

How It Works

Eyesotope integrates with satellite imagery providers (such as Agromonitoring) to deliver:

1. Satellite polygons are automatically created for your fields when you add them
2. Imagery layers are fetched and displayed as map overlays
3. NDVI analysis highlights healthy vegetation (green) vs. stressed areas (red/yellow)

​

Viewing Satellite Data

1. Navigate to a field detail page
2. Select Satellite in the sidebar
3. Browse available imagery dates using the 8 image types: True Color, False Color, NDVI, EVI, EVI2, NRI, DSWI, NDWI
4. Adjust the cloud coverage slider to filter out cloudy images
5. View the selected layer overlaid on your field boundary
6. Click any image for a full-resolution lightbox view

​

Managing Satellite Images

​

Hiding Individual Images

Click the hide button on any satellite image to remove it from your gallery. Hidden images are moved to the archive view and can be restored at any time.

​

Multi-Select & Bulk Operations

For managing large numbers of images at once:

1. Click the Select button to enter multi-select mode
2. Check individual images, or use Select All to check everything
3. A floating toolbar appears showing the selection count
4. Click Archive Selected to hide all checked images at once
5. Switch to the Archive view and use the same flow with Restore Selected to bring images back

​

AI-Generated Field Images

The Satellite tab also includes an AI Image Gallery where you can generate stylized aerial views of your field using AI:

1. Click Generate to create a new AI-generated field image
2. Generation runs asynchronously — a progress indicator shows the status
3. Completed images appear in the gallery and can be viewed in the lightbox

​

Understanding NDVI

NDVI values range from -1 to 1:

​

Data Cleanup

When you delete a field, the associated satellite monitoring polygons are automatically cleaned up from the satellite provider.

---

​

Soil (Real-time)

The Soil tab displays current soil readings from the Agromonitoring soil API:

• Soil moisture percentage with visual progress bars
• Historical charts — Soil temperature (surface vs. depth) and moisture trends over time

---

​

Soil Layers (ISRIC SoilGrids)

The Soil Layers tab provides a complete soil profile for your field from the ISRIC SoilGrids global database (250 m resolution).

​

Depth Layers

Data is provided for 6 standardized depths: 0–5 cm, 5–15 cm, 15–30 cm, 30–60 cm, 60–100 cm, and 100–200 cm.

​

Soil Properties (14 total)

​

Features

• WRB Classification — World Reference Base soil class (e.g., “Cambisol”) with probability scores
• Soil texture summary — Stacked bar showing clay/sand/silt percentages
• Property depth table — Each property across all 6 layers with mean ± uncertainty
• Agricultural descriptions — Plain-language explanations of what each property means for farming

​

Climate Intelligence Tab

The Climate Intel tab is the central data hub for a field, displaying all 28 raw NASA POWER channels plus derived agricultural metrics. See the Climate Intelligence guide for farm-level analysis, or read about the field-level tab below.

​

28 NASA POWER Channels

​

Derived Agricultural Metrics

• GDD — Cumulative and daily Growing Degree Days
• Water Balance — Daily and cumulative (precipitation − ET)
• Phenology Stage — Current BBCH growth stage from GDD
• Frost Risk Score (0–100) — Based on minimum temperature and dew point depression
• Heat Stress Score (0–100) — Based on maximum temperature vs. crop threshold
• Disease Risk Score (0–100) — Composite of humidity, temperature, dew, and wind
• Spray Window Score (0–100) — Penalties for wind, rain, humidity, and temperature

​

Satellite Overlays on the Map

Beyond the field detail page, satellite imagery is also available on the Sites map page, showing overlays across all fields at once.

​

Enabling Satellite Layer

1. Navigate to Sites in the left sidebar
2. Click the Layers control on the map
3. Enable the Satellite Imagery layer
4. A Satellite Panel slides in from the right edge of the map

​

Satellite Panel Controls

The panel provides full control over the satellite overlay display:

• Index Type — Choose from NDVI, EVI, EVI2, NRI, DSWI, NDWI, True Color, or False Color
• Cloud Coverage Slider — Filter images by maximum cloud coverage percentage (0–100%)
• Date Timeline — Browse all available imagery dates with step arrows to move forward/backward in time
• Overlay Count Badge — Shows how many fields have imagery for the selected date
• Minimize — Collapse the panel to a small floating chip to maximize map space

​

How Overlays Work

Satellite imagery is rendered as map overlays clipped to actual field polygons — not rectangular bounding boxes. This means only the field area shows the satellite data, with clean polygon-shaped edges for a precise visual representation.

​

Field Preview Images

On the field list and season field cards, satellite preview images are shown automatically for fields with available imagery. The system uses the most recent satellite image, falling back to direct provider URLs when local copies aren’t available.
