Potential of GPR data fusion with hyperspectral data for precision agriculture of the future

? 2022 Elsevier B.V.Precision Agriculture (PA) requires accurate spatial and temporal information of soil properties at a very fine scale. Traditional soil characterization methods are time consuming, laborious and invasive and do not allow long-term repeatability of measurements. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) appears to be a particularly suitable methodology for characterizing soil and subsurface from a physical property point of view. Visible-near infrared-shortwave infrared (VIS-NIR-SWIR) reflectance spectroscopy has now become a widespread technique in soil analysis. Information on soil variability can be improved by the integration of data from multiple sensors. The overall objective of this paper was to examine the potential of fusing GPR data with hyperspectral data using multivariate geostatistics for delineating the management zones in the soil of an olive grove of centuries-old trees in Italy. A linear model of coregionalization (LMC) was individually fitted for the raw hyperspectral data and for GPR data including for each case a nugget effect and two spherical models at short scale and at longer scale. After that, one data set was obtained from the fusion of the two sensor data sets and a LMC was fitted for the combined data to be then used in factor cokriging. The application of this technique produced a delineation of the field into homogeneous zones, highlighting a wide southern-central zone, characterized by different granulometric and chemical properties. The proposed approach was then effective to discriminate areas with different properties by using multi-sensor data. It then has the potential to be used in PA.
