Hyperspectral Analysis of Soil Total Nitrogen in Subsided Land Using the Local Correlation Mazimization-Complementary Superiority Method

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The measurement of soil total nitrogen (TN) by hyperspectral remote sensing provides an important tool for soil restoration programs in areas with subsided land caused by the extraction of natural resources. This study used the local correlation maximization-complementary superiority method (LCMCS) to establish TN prediction models by considering the relationship between spectral reflectance and TN based on spectral reflectance curves of soil samples collected from subsided land determined by synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technology. Based on the 1655 selected effective bands of the optimal spectrum (OSP) of the first derivate differential of reciprocal logarithm ([log{1/R}]'), (correlation coefficients, P < 0.01), the optimal model of LCMCS method was obtained to determine the final model, which produced lower prediction errors
