Research progress on soil mapping based on remote sensing image data
[Purpose]Digital soil mapping,with low cost and high accuracy,is a new technology and a new tool for portraying soil environmental variables.Remote sensing technology plays an important role in the operational application of digital soil mapping,but there are still many problems and uncertainties.This paper summarizes the progress of related research with the aim of providing useful references for digital soil mapping based on remotely sensed image data.[Method]This paper reviewed the progress of remote sensing technology in the study of soil type and property mapping and provided a summary and outlook,with a view to better exploiting the role of high spatial,temporal,and spectral resolution remote sensing data in digital soil mapping,providing information support for the development of new models,and improving the accuracy of soil mapping models for the upcoming third national soil survey.[Results]The study indicated that the characteristics of remote sensing data align with soil science theories and drive the development of soil mapping.However,further exploration was needed in areas such as rapid extraction of environmental variable factors,adaptive indicator selection and the construction of predictive models that meet the needs of multi-level mapping.[Conclusion]In order to achieve the operational,procedural and automated mapping of soil types and properties,future research should focus on an integrated solution from"environmental variable analysis-evaluation indicator system selection-predictive model construction",exploring how to integrate various remote sensing payloads and comprehensively apply new models to improve the accuracy of digital soil mapping to provide more accurate support for agricultural production and land resource management.
