AI-Powered Classification of Soils Based on Microscopic Images
AI-Powered Classification of Soils Based on Microscopic Images Soil classification is one of the first and most essential things we learn in civil engineering; however, in practical life, it's not as easy as it's in theory anyway. Soil can be classified in a number of ways, such as sieve analysis, Atterberg limit, and observation by the engineers themselves. It is a easy and can be more reliable method, but it may take long time, and may vary depending upon the experience of the engineer performing the experiment. Hence, slight variation in soil classification can be seen among the reports of the engineers. To counter this issue, artificial intelligence is slowly finding its way into soil classification. One of the unique technique that can be used in soil classification is classification of soil using microscopic images. This method uses soil samples photos and seen under a microscope , good images are then used. These images contain information such as the size of the gra...
