Abstract
Recent Advances in UAS based Soil Erosion Mapping
Highlights
Soil erosion negatively impacts crop yield, water quality, and resilience to natural disasters [1,2]
This mini review presents the latest applications of Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS) technology in soil erosion mapping
Advances of UAS, known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or drone, and sensor technologies allow the acquisition of high spatiotemporal remotely sensed data that are arduous in traditional remote sensing platforms
Summary
Soil erosion negatively impacts crop yield, water quality, and resilience to natural disasters [1,2]. The UAS based aerial mapping technologies are recently making it possible to perform precise spatial modeling of rill and gully erosion process at a relatively low cost. This mini review summarizes research topics of previous research as follows: a) mapping and modeling of the soil surface in a fine spatial resolution, b) volumetric estimation of gully and rill erosion, c) understanding the sediment transport process, and d) prediction of future soil erosion based on UAS data.
