Abstract
The aim of the present research is the determination of soil color by spectral bands and indices obtained from MODIS images. For this purpose, soil samples were collected from East Azerbaijan Province (Iran) and their color and texture were investigated through Munsell color system and hydrometer method, respectively. Stepwise regression, principle component analysis and sensitivity function methods were employed to find the dominant indices and bands using artificial neural network (ANN) as one of the machine learning techniques. The improved indices as the model input had better performance, for example, the calculation of correlation coefficient between indices and hue showed 51.48% increase of correlation coefficient with comparison of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to modified soil adjustment vegetation index (MSAVI) and 54.54% correlation enhancement of soil adjustment vegetation index (SAVI) compared to MSAVI. Stepwise regression method along with error criteria decline may enhance the performance of soil color model. In comparison with multivariate regression, ANN model exhibited better performance (with a 12.61% mean absolute error [MAE] decline). Temporal variation of modified perpendicular drought index (MPDI) as well as band 31 could justify the Munsell soil color components variations specifically chroma and hue. MPDI and thermal bands could be employed as a precise indicator in soil color analysis. Thus, remote sensing data combined with machine learning technique can clarify the procedure potential for soil color determination.
