Geospatial APIs

For documentation and tutorials regarding how to use the ibmpairs SDK for Geospatial APIs, please consult the official documentation.

Refer to the samples below for various industry use cases of Geospatial APIs.

Example Description Industry
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is used to quantify vegetation greenness and is useful in understanding vegetation density and assessing changes in plant health. Agriculture
Water and Moisture Detection Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) and Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (mNDWI) provides a relative indication of the wetness or dryness of an area, helping to identify potential water stress or drought conditions or combustibility levels in fire-prone areas. Agriculture, Disaster Events
Sea Rise Risk Prediction Geospatial APIs can help determine the possible regions that come under the threat of rise in sea levels Climate Change, Disaster Events
