ABSTRACT
As a key, yet difficult, issue currently in the quantitative remote sensing analysis of soil, the accurate and stable monitoring of soil salinity content (SSC) in situ should be studied and improved. The purpose of this study is to explore the method of fusing spectra outdoors with spectra indoors and improve the estimation precision of SSC based on near-infrared (NIR) reflectance hyper-spectra. First, samples of saline soil from the Yellow River delta of China were collected and analyzed. We measured three groups of sample spectra using a spectrometer (1) situ-spectra, measured at sampling points in situ; (2) out-spectra, measured outdoors on air-dried samples; and, (3) lab-spectra, measured in a dark laboratory with the above air-dried samples. Second, four algorithms (multiplicative update, alternating least-squares, sparse affine non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), and gradient projection algorithms) of NMF were used to fuse the situ-spectra or out-spectra with the lab-spectra for the calibration of SSC. Finally, estimation models of SSC were built using the multiple linear regression method based on the first derivatives of the un-fused and fused spectra. The results indicate that using the NMF method to fuse the situ-spectra or out-spectra with the lab-spectra can heighten the correlation between SSC and the outdoor spectra in most wavelength ranges and improve the accuracy of the prediction model. The gradient projection algorithm shows the best performance with fewer variables and highest accuracy of the SSC model based on the NIR spectra.
