Abstract
Soil reflectance spectra and hyperspectral images have great potential to monitor and evaluate soil texture in large-scale scenarios. In hilly areas, sand, clay, and silt have similar spectral characteristics in visible, near-infrared, and short-wave infrared (VNIR-SWIR) reflection spectra. Soil texture spectra belong to mixed spectra despite some differences in particle size, mineral composition, and water content, making their distinction difficult. The accurate identification of the content within different particle sizes is difficult as it involves capturing spectral reflection features. Therefore, this study aimed to predict soil texture content through machine learning and unmixing the soil texture’s spectra while also comparing their respective modelling performances. Taking typical cultivated land in the Jianghuai hills as an example, the GaoFen-5 Advanced Hyperspectral Imaging (GF-5 AHSI) laboratory spectra of soil samples were used to predict sand, silt, and clay particle contents using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The entire spectra of VNIR-SWIR regions were smoothed, and the dimensions were reduced via principal component analysis (PCA). The prediction models of sand, silt, and clay particle content were constructed, and inversion maps were generated using AHSI. The results showed that the PCA-CNN model achieved a higher prediction precision than the PCA-PLSR in both ASD and GF-5 data. Clay content exhibited the highest predictive performance with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.948 and 0.908 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 26.51 g/kg and 31.24 g/kg, respectively, which represented a 39.0% and 79.8% increase in R2 and a 57% and 57.1% decrease in RMSE compared to that of the PCA-PLSR. This method indicates that the PCA-CNN model can effectively achieve nonlinear interactions between multiple spectral components and better model and fit spectral mixing processes; moreover, it provides an alternative method for investigating the spatial distribution of soil texture.
