Published purpose
The proposed project targets the quantification of nutrients in soil using newly available mobile near infrared (NIR) sensors coupled with cloud-based support in the form of data processing, machine learning and spectral matching algorithms/libraries. Development work includes integration of NIR sensors from multiple hardware vendors into a common platform that supports location, soil type and device-specific calibrations/analysis. Field testing with partners includes two pilots that are located at (1) a Northern Alberta wellsite being reclaimed and (2) numerous cropland locations in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
