A Deep Learning Based Soil Type Classification and Recommendation of Crops to the Soil Type

Abstract

Accurate classification of soil surface texture plays a pivotal role in agriculture, environmental management, and land-use planning. However, the classification of soil textures from RGB images obtained under uncontrolled field conditions remains a challenging task due to the inherent complexities of natural environments. In this study, we propose a novel approach for Soil Surface Texture Classification using Convolutional Neural Networks to address these challenges.
