An Improved Method for Quantifying Liquid Saturation Using Transparent Soil by Juan Wang, Wei Liu, Wenwu Chen, Xuebin Ran, Yanfang Zhang, Gaochao Lin

“…In this regard, the calibration relationship between the pixel intensity of the image and the saturation of the wetting liquid is the crucial premise for whether this technique can be promoted and applied, and it is also a bottleneck that limits whether this technique can be rapidly and extensively developed. However, owing to gravity-driven effects, wetting liquid in a residual state usually exhibits an irregular boundary caused by the phenomenon of saturation overshoot, which makes it very difficult to use the previous overflow method to obtain the data pair of saturation-pixel intensity accurately. …”
