研究目的
To analyze the applicability of a non-scanning portable hyperspectral camera for proximal soil sensing, specifically for estimating soil organic carbon, hot-water extractable carbon, total nitrogen, and clay content using raw soil samples without crushing, and to evaluate the effects of image segmentation and spectral variable selection on estimation accuracy.
研究成果
The use of a hyperspectral snapshot camera with image segmentation and spectral variable selection significantly improves the estimation of soil properties compared to using image mean spectra alone. IRIV-PLSR slightly outperforms CARS-PLSR, but both methods enhance accuracy. The approach is promising for field applications, but future work should extend to broader spectral ranges and larger datasets to improve robustness and applicability.
研究不足
The study is limited by the spectral range of the camera (450-950 nm), which does not cover the SWIR region important for some soil properties. The sample size is small (n=40), and the methods may not generalize to all soil types. Image segmentation and variable selection increase computational complexity, and extrapolation in clustered data can lead to inaccuracies. Soil surface roughness and illumination effects were not fully compensated.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a hyperspectral snapshot camera (UHD 285) to capture image data in the 450-950 nm range. Multivariate methods included partial least squares regression (PLSR) with full spectra and combined with spectral variable selection methods (CARS and IRIV). Image segmentation was applied using regular sub-image decomposition and k-means clustering to improve data analysis.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
40 soil samples were collected from agricultural topsoil (0-10 cm depth) in Saxony, Germany, covering various textures. Samples were air-dried and prepared without crushing to mimic field conditions.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Hyperspectral camera (UHD 285), tripod, ASD Pro-Lamp for illumination, reference panel (Zenith Polymer), black passepartout, soil samples, and software (ENVI, MATLAB).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The camera was mounted on a tripod at 35 cm distance with 45° illumination angle. Images were captured, pre-processed (converted to reflectance, reduced to 458-930 nm, and log-transformed to absorbance), and segmented. PLSR models were calibrated and validated using leave-one-out cross-validation.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis included PLSR with cross-validation, calculation of RPD, pRMSE, and R2 to assess accuracy. Spectral variable selection was performed using CARS and IRIV methods.
