NDVI & NDRE Mapping for Turf Health
NDVI highlights course-wide patterns such as:
Drought stress
Poor nutrient uptake
Shade-related decline
Heat & compaction lanes
Turf uniformity on fairways
NDRE provides precision diagnostics for greens and collars, including:
Early chlorophyll loss
Dry spots & moisture imbalance
Collar stress
Weak sod seams
Early fungal indicators
Subtle performance variations
These maps give your team a deeper understanding of turf performance so resources can be focused exactly where they’re needed.
Why Turf Analytics Matters
Thermal Turf Stress Mapping
Thermal mapping reveals surface temperature patterns that expose issues invisible to the eye. These insights help greens teams diagnose stress early and maintain consistent, high-quality playing surfaces.
Thermal analysis highlights:
Hotspots from drought or hydrophobic soil
Over-watered or cool zones
Irrigation coverage imbalance
Compaction-related heat signatures
Poor drainage or moisture retention
Temperature shifts across greens and approaches
Thermal maps give a clear picture of how turf is responding to heat, moisture, and foot traffic — making it easier to prioritize treatment and prevent problem areas from spreading.

About Highland Aerial Analytics
Highland Aerial Analytics was founded by Ryan Pickett, a former 14-year NFL veteran who played at the highest level of American football before relocating to Scotland with his family. After a career built on discipline, preparation, and precision, Ryan brings that same elite-performance mindset into aerial imaging, data collection, and professional drone operations.
What began as a passion for technology and agriculture evolved into a full-service aerial analytics company supporting golf courses, telecom operators, estates, farms, and emergency response teams across Scotland.
Highland Aerial Analytics combines Ryan’s elite athletic background with advanced drone systems, structured safety processes, and high-accuracy data workflows — delivering results you can trust.
