Abstract

Since the content of soil organic carbon (SOC) is significantly correlated with the soil reflection spectrum, hyperspectral remote sensing technology provides an effective new choice for the estimation of soil properties. At present, deep learning method relies on its strong feature extraction ability and has been successfully applied to the field of data analysis. This paper attempts to apply the deep learning method to the estimation of SOC content and proposes a method combining the convolutional neural networks (CNN) and quantile regression (QR). This method constructs a three-layer CNN and adjusts the network structure with the idea of QR. The experimental results are presented for two soil datasets, LUCAS (Land Use/Land Cover Area Frame Survey) and AfSIS (Africa Soil Information Service), and compared with several advanced deep learning and traditional machine learning regression models. The experimental results show that this method performs well in estimation.
