Cat Swarm with Fuzzy Cognitive Maps for Automated Soil Classification

Abstract

Accurate soil prediction is a vital parameter involved to decide appropriate crop, which is commonly carried out by the farmers. Designing an automated soil prediction tool helps to considerably improve the efficacy of the farmers. At the same time, fuzzy logic (FL) approaches can be used for the design of predictive models, particularly, Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) have involved the concept of uncertainty representation and cognitive mapping. In other words, the FCM is an integration of the recurrent neural network (RNN) and FL involved in the knowledge engineering phase. In this aspect, this paper introduces effective fuzzy cognitive maps with cat swarm optimization for automated soil classification (FCMCSO-ASC) technique. The goal of the FCMCSO-ASC technique is to identify and categorize seven different types of soil. To accomplish this, the FCMCSO-ASC technique incorporates local diagonal extrema pattern (LDEP) as a feature extractor for producing a collection of feature vectors. In addition, the FCMCSO model is applied for soil classification and the weight values of the FCM model are optimally adjusted by the use of CSO algorithm. For examining the enhanced soil classification outcomes of the FCMCSO-ASC technique, a series of simulations were carried out on benchmark dataset and the experimental outcomes reported the enhanced performance of the FCMCSO-ASC technique over the recent techniques with maximum accuracy of 96.84%.

TEA SOIL: Self-Power IoT for Precision Soil Farming of Tea Plant Cultivation

“…Analyses of chemicals are usually performed in laboratories using several chemicals [11] Whereas, image analysis is carried out using computer vision techniques [12][13]. A cone penetration test (CPT) is a conventional soil testing method that checks the depth and subsurface of soil and samples [14]. However, traditional methods are often difficult and timeconsuming, involving several time-consuming processes for sample collection, preparation, and chemical treatment of materials before off-site laboratory analysis [15].…”
