NDVI Crop Analysis – Desktop Application This repository contains the desktop version of the NDVI Crop Analysis tool. The application allows users to generate NDVI images from standard RGB plant or field photos. It works fully offline and supports both macOS and Windows. About the Application The NDVI Crop Analysis app converts regular RGB imagery into NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). This can help evaluate plant health, identify stress areas, and visualize variation in a field. The app is intended for students, researchers, drone users, and anyone who needs a simple, ready-to-use NDVI generator without installing GIS tools or writing code. Download The latest macOS and Windows builds are available under the Releases section of this repository: https://github.com/eserimo/ndvi-crop-analysis/releases/latest Download the version for your operating system and run it directly. No installation of extra libraries is required. How to Use Open the application. Select or drag your RGB image into the window. The app processes the image and generates an NDVI output. Save the NDVI result to your computer. The app works offline and does not send images anywhere. Example Input and Output This repository includes sample images for reference. The example_inputs folder contains RGB photos. The example_outputs folder contains NDVI images generated by the app. These are included to show how the application converts raw imagery into NDVI form. NDVI Formula The NDVI calculation used in this application follows the standard formula: NDVI = (NIR – Red) / (NIR + Red) If true NIR is not available, the app uses an approximate method based on color channels to produce a vegetation index visualization. Notes The source code for the desktop build is not included in this public repository. Only compiled application files and example images are provided.
