Abstract
Soil color is commonly used as an indicator to classify soil and identify its properties. However, color-based soil assessments are susceptible to variations in light conditions and the subjectivity of visual evaluations. This study proposes a novel method of calibrating digital images of soil, regardless of lighting conditions, to ensure accurate identification. Two different color space models, RGB and CIELAB, were assessed in terms of their potential utility in calibrating changes to soil color in digital images. The latter system was determined to be suitable, as a result of its ability to accurately reflect illuminance and color temperature. Linear regression equations relating soil color and light conditions were developed based on digital images of four different types of soil samples, each photographed under 15 different light conditions. The proposed method can be applied to calibrate variations in the soil color obtained by digital images, thus allowing for more standardized, objective, and accurate classification and evaluation of soil based on its color.
