Prediction and Mapping of Soil Total Nitrogen Using GF-5 Image Based on Machine Learning Optimization Modeling by LIU Liqi, WEI Guangyuan, ZHOU Ping

“…[Conclusions]This study demonstrates the clear feasibility of using GF-5 satellite hyperspectral remote sensing data and machine learning algorithm for large-scale quantitative detection and visualization analysis of soil TN content. The soil TN content distribution map generated based on GF-5 hyperspectral remote sensing data is detailed and consistent with results from other methods, providing technical support for future large-scale quantitative detection of soil nutrient status and rational fertilization.…”
