Infrared maps are aerial/satelite images that are taken using infrared electromagnetic radiation (wavelength that is longer than visible light). These images are great for monitoring crops or vegetation as the green leaves will standout compared to other colors seen on a landscape. The photo above was used to asses the health of the vegetation across England and Wales. These images are often used with GIS projects!
