System and method for predicting crop yield

A method comprising:

• receiving, via an image data receiving component, image data of a geographic region;
• generating, via a vegetation index generation component, an array of vegetation indices based on the received image data, the vegetation index generation component including a plurality of vegetation index generating components, each operable to generate a respective individual vegetation index based on the received image data;
• receiving, via a crop data receiving component, crop data associated with the geographic region;
• generating, via a masking component, a masked vegetation index based on the array of vegetation indices and the received crop data;
• and
• generating, via a multivariate regression component, a crop parameter based on the masked vegetation index and the zonal statistics data.

A non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, for use with a computer and being capable of instructing the computer to perform the method comprising:

• receiving, via an image data receiving component, image data of a geographic region;
• generating, via a vegetation index generation component, an array of vegetation indices based on the received image data, the vegetation index generation component including a plurality of vegetation index generating components, each operable to generate a respective individual vegetation index based on the received image data;
• receiving, via a crop data receiving component, crop data associated with the geographic region;
• generating, via a masking component, a masked vegetation index based on the array of vegetation indices and the received crop data;
• and
• generating, via a multivariate regression component, a crop parameter based on the masked vegetation index.
