A agricultura emprega técnicas cada vez mais inovadoras na busca por otimizar insumos, maximizar a lucratividade e diminuir o impacto ambiental. Exemplo disso é o despontar da agricultura 4.0, na qual sensores coletem informações através do Sensoriamento Proximal do Solo. Esses métodos, chamados photon-based methods, empregam distintos comprimentos de onda da radiação eletromagnética para mensurar atributos e propriedades do solo in-situ ou ex-situ. Instituições nacionais de pesquisa têm produzido conhecimento relevante e contribuído para a formação de profissionais aptos a aplicar essas novas abordagens em ciência do solo. Nesse contexto, esta revisão bibliográfica teve como objetivo verter as principais técnicas de sensoriamento proximal em uma síntese acessível para estudantes, técnicos e pesquisadores.
<p>The relationship between visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR-SWIR) spectra and soil organic carbon (SOC) and the effects of preprocessing techniques on SOC predictive models have been shown in several studies. However, little attention has been given to the effect of analytical methods used to produce the SOC data used to calibrate those models. The predictive performance of Vis-NIR spectral models depends not only on the preprocessing technique and machine learning method but also on the analytical method employed to produce the SOC data. Our hypothesis is that some combinations of preprocessing and models may be more sensitive to laboratory (measurement) error than others. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the leave-one-out cross-validation performance of three predictive models (Random Forest (RF), Cubist, and Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR)) calibrated using SOC data produced via three analytical methods (dry combustion (DC) and wet combustion with quantification by titration (WCt) and colorimetry (WCc)) and three Vis-NIR spectra preprocessing techniques (smoothing (SMO), continuum removal (CRR), and Savitzky-Golay first derivative (SGD)). The prediction performance varied among the models. DC and WCt provided a higher correlation between SOC and spectra than WCc, and thus, resulted in higher accuracy. The Cubist+CRR was ranked the best performing model, with an average of R2 = 0.81 and RMSE = 0.81% among analytical methods. Cubist+CRR also minimized the accuracy differences resulting from SOC analytical methods employed. The RF model had low accuracy and was unable to explain more than 46% of the variance. Overall, the analytical method significantly affects SOC predictions, and its impact may be larger than the preprocessing.&#160;</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
