Determination of pH in Soil Using Deep Learning and Digital Image Processing

Abstract

pH is used for the determining the concentration of acidity or alkalinity in the soil along with the presence of the essential nutrients that the soil bares within themselves. It starts at 0 and goes all the way up to the value 14, where 0 states that the soil is extremely acidic, 14 stating the soil is extremely alkaline and 7 representing the soil is neutral, which is an ideal pH values for the growth of plants and crops. Many horticultural crops grow in soils having a pH of 6 which is slightly acidic and 7.5 which is considered to be slightly alkaline, but there are some which can grow in extreme conditions as well. Initially, multiple papers were referred to know how the pH can be determined using digital image processing, but later found to be just using RGB colours, and their relation to find the pH of the soil using images.
