Different Approaches on Digital Mapping of Soil-Landscape Parameters

In soil-landscape parameters mapping, the implementation of geomatics-GIS, GPS, remote sensing, and DEM, suggests new alternatives. Different approaches have been applied for retrieval of soil-landscape parameters. In recent years, machine learning algorithms have received increasing attention for digital mapping.
