The objective of this research was to determine a methodology for the use of spectral data obtained in the laboratory and from orbital images for the recognition and discrimination of three soil classes in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Reflectance data were obtained by a spectroradiometer/by Landsat 5 images in the laboratory as standards from soil samples of Oxisol, Ultisol, and Entisol profiles. Orbital data were converted to reflectance and classified by the Spectral Angle Mapper. The spectral curves obtained […]
