The identification of factor and indicational features, which are characterized by the high informativity and field of view in relation to the soil cover organization, plays a very important role in the soil mapping. Such characteristics are more common for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), which include spectrazonal imagery and digital elevation model (DEM) with ultrahigh spatial resolution, necessary for obtaining fine and large scale images. However, the agrogenic micro- and nanotopography is considered as a noise during the studies of the soil cover topographic differentiation under the conditions of plowland, as the genetic soil properties correlate with natural micro- and mesotopography. A filtration algorithm for the land surface roughness, which is not related to the spatial organization of the objective soil properties, is suggested in the paper. The stages of linear dimension identification for self-similar structures of the glacial and agrogenic topography based on two-dimensional Fourier decomposition are demonstrated using the example of a field topography digital model for the area of 125 hectares. Filtering in the frequency domain allowed restoring the natural field topography and substantiating the effective resolution of the DEM and the size of the area to calculate local morphometric specificities of the topography for digital soil mapping.
Application of statistical methods of analysis of geophysical data is often helpful for the detection of weak anomalies against a noisy background. The processing and analysis of areal geophysical data by two such methods are presented. The advantage of these methods are illustrated with the help of two field examples.
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.
