Abstract
A method for measuring performance of a geographic region from an image including a set of image elements includes: receiving the image corresponding to a time unit, generating a geographic region performance map for the image, combining the geographic region performance map with a second geographic region performance map, and generating a geographic region performance summary map. Generating the geographic region performance map for the image can include mapping a set of image elements to a set of geographic sub-regions, generating a set of vegetative performance values for the set of image elements, mapping the set of image elements to a set of crop types, defining a subset of image elements corresponding to a subset of vegetative performance values, comparing vegetative performance values of the subset of vegetative performance values, and generating geographic region performance values for the subset of image elements.
