| description | The lands near mining industries in the Czech Republic are subjected to soil pollution with heavy metals. Excessive heavy metal concentrations in soils not only dramatically impact the soil quality, but also due to their persistent nature and indefinite biological half-lives, potentially toxic metals can accumulate in the food chain and can eventually endanger human health. Monitoring and spatial information of these elements require a large number of samples and cumbersome and time-consuming laboratory measurements. A faster method has been developed based on a multivariate calibration procedure using support vector machine regression (SVMR) with cross-validation, to establish a relationship between reflectance spectra in the visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) region and concentration of Mn, Cu, Cd, Zn, and Pb in soil. Spectral preprocessing methods, first and second derivatives (FD and SD), standard normal variate (SNV), multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), and continuum removal (CR) were employed after smoothing with Savitzky-Golay to improve the robustness and performance of the calibration models. According to the criteria of maximal coefficient of determination (R2cv) and minimal root mean square error of prediction in cross-validation (RMSEPcv), the SVMR algorithm with FD preprocessing was determined as the best method for predicting Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn concentration, whereas the SVMR model with CR preprocessing was chosen as the final method for predicting Cd. Overall, this study indicated that the Vis-NIR reflectance spectroscopy technique combined with a continuously enriched soil spectral library as well as a suitable preprocessing method could be a nondestructive alternative for monitoring of the soil environment. The future possibilities of multivariate calibration and preprocessing with real-time remote sensing data have to be explored. |
