Generating agricultural information products using remote sensing

An information system configured to generate a supplementary index raster file based on a plurality of primary index raster files that are associated with an area of interest (AOI), the information system comprising:

• a computer system comprising a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to:
• generate the plurality of primary index raster files including at least two vegetation index (VI) raster files, wherein each primary index raster file includes a plurality of georeferenced pixel values;
• combine the at least two VI raster files to generate a classified soil brightness (CSB) raster file;
• classify each pixel value of the CSB raster file into one of a plurality of classes;
• store the CSB raster file into the memory;
• and
• display the CSB raster file based on a user-selected display option.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable components for generating a supplementary index raster file based on a plurality of primary index raster files that are associated with an area of interest (AOI), the components comprising:

• a primary index component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to generate the plurality of primary index raster files including at least two vegetation index (VI) raster files and a soil brightness index (SBI) raster file, wherein each primary index raster file includes a plurality of pixel values;
• a combination component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to combine the at least two VI raster files to generate a classified soil brightness (CSB) raster file;
• a classification component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to classify each pixel value of the CSB raster file into one of a plurality of classes based on a type of land cover associated with each pixel value;
• a storage component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to store the CSB raster file in a memory;
• and
• a display component that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to transmit the CSB raster file to a display device.
