1. A system for measuring species diversity, comprising: a memory storing processor executable instructions; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the processor executable instructions by the one or more processors causes the one or more processors to: receive a first image of a first landscape; receive a second image of a second landscape; represent a portion of the first image as a first region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels, and represent a portion of the second image as a second region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels; calculate at least one textural characteristic of two or more spectral bands of each region of interest; and calculate the species diversity between the first landscape and the second landscape based on the textural features.
