Soil is an essential element of life, and soil properties are crucial in analyzing soil health. Recent developments of proximal sensor technologies, such as portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy or visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy, offer rapid and non-destructive alternatives for quantifying data from soil profiles. While the data collection time using these technologies decreases significantly, the subsequent analysis remains time-consuming, and current analysis solutions only provide basic visualizations. Furthermore, the use of collected data from proximal sensors to predict high-level soil properties has garnered worldwide attention in the past decade, owing to its convenience. Therefore, this paper discusses the objectives for software solutions in this area, consolidated from interviewing 102 stakeholders. Following these requirements, data visualizers work closely with soil scientists to propose a set of interactive visualizations for analyzing soil profiles using pXRF data. These interactive visualizations receive positive feedback from the domain experts. This project also explores various machine learning and deep learning approaches to predict soil properties from spectral data. This work then proposes a deep learning model called RDNet that achieves state-of-the-art results in predicting pH(H2O) and pH(KCl) from Vis-NIR spectra acquired from a set of globally distributed soil samples.

Better prediction and monitoring of flood events are key factors contributing to the reduction of their impact on local communities and infrastructure assets. Flood management involves successive phases characterized by specific types of assessments and interventions. Due to technological advances, computer vision plays an increasing role in flood monitoring, modeling and awareness. However, there is a lack of systemic analysis of computer vision's relative adequacy to specific needs associated with successive flood management phases. This article presents a systematic review of relevant literature and proposes a need-based evaluation of these use cases. Finally, the article highlights future areas of research in this domain.
