Remote identification of soil conditions with ratioed multispectral dataSome of the information concerning soils that a multispectral scanner system may provide is discussed, and a practical approach for realizing this potential is suggested. Some reflectance and emittance characteristics of soil surfaces are reviewed, and the feasibility of selectively enhancing contrasts associated with differing soil conditions is demonstrated. The simplicity of the proposed ratio technique, its relative economy, and the compatibility of the image output with conventional survey methods commends it for consideration as an operational method.
