Evaluating The Approaches of the 3D Models Generation of a Soil Surface: A Review Study

Abstract

There are various approaches used to create 3D models of soil surfaces, including field surveying, photogrammetry and laser scanning methods. However, most of these methods are high cost, requiring many employees and long processing time. Thus, this study will evaluate these approaches and will show the merits and the significances of each approach used for 3D soil generations. The review study shows that the videogrammetric method is considered the efficient approach for 3D soil surface generation because it is economic, precise, fast, and needs few workers.
