Abstract

During this critical period of pandemic, agriculture is the main source of income for any country, to be specific developing countries like India. During the 21st century agriculture is not the profession of illiterate villagers but the main occupation of literates too. Nowadays farmers are using modern equipment and technology in the field of agriculture to grow more crop with less effort and in uncongenial atmosphere. Farmers have to grow different crops in different areas and at different time period. To select the type of crop in a particular time period soil moisture of the given field plays a major role which directly depicts the water absorbing capacity of the soil in a given field. So, measurement of the soil moisture of a given field becomes utmost important. After a thorough literature survey it was found that soil moisture probes are inserted in a given field at a particular distance gap which gives the measure of soil moisture. This method is useful for a small field. In order to measure the soil moisture globally, satellite images are decoded using different algorithms to calculate soil moisture. In a step ahead soil moisture is predicted from the previous data using Artificial Neural Network. Since the satellite images are captured from an altitude, surface conditions to be specific – vegetation cover and surface roughness will have a serious effect on the captured image. In this paper an attempt is made to develop an algorithm incorporating the effects of surface conditions to decode the satellite images in calculating the soil moisture.
