Figures out soil type from water wetness.
This work focuses on estimating soil properties from water moisture measurements. We consider simulated data generated by solving the initial-boundary value problem governing vertical infiltration in a homogeneous, bounded soil profile, with the usage of the Fokas method. To address the parameter identification problem, which is formulated as a two-output regression task, we explore various machine learning models. The performance of each model is assessed under different data conditions: full, noisy, and limited. Overall, the prediction of diffusivity $D$ tends to be more accurate than that of hydraulic conductivity $K.$ Among the models considered, Support Vector Machines (SVMs) and Neural Networks (NNs) demonstrate the highest robustness, achieving near-perfect accuracy and minimal errors.
