Abstract

The devices utilizes IR rays irradiated to the area of soil to determine the soil surface texture and reflectance within the IR range. The reflectance data includes detected reflectance intensity and distance of the soil area used for further soil analysis and computation, and also covers the reflectance spectrum of grassy region present in the soil area. An independent claim is also included for a procedure for soil surface analysis.
