Multi-Sensor Fusion for Soil Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Fast and accurate measurement of soil properties is important for precision agriculture and food safety. A variety of soil sensors have been applied in order to determine soil properties rapidly during the past several decades. Spectroscopy in particular has increased in popularity because it is rapid, timely, cost-effective, non-destructive and straightforward. With the development of sensors, more and more portable sensors has been applied alone or in combination for soil monitoring.

In this Special Issue, we are finding and collecting original manuscripts that fusing proximal soil sensors including vis-NIR, mid-IR, PXRF etc. for soil properties estimation. We are also seeking manuscripts that improve estimation accuracy based on field conditions or use machine or deep learning methods for soil estimation.
