| 英文摘要 | Soil survey (soil mapping) is based on soil-landscape knowledge of soil scientists. Current automated approaches to soil survey cannot take such knowledge as direct input, because the knowledge is descriptive in nature. This paper presents a "mapping with words" solution by using fuzzy logic. Environmental variables used to describe landscape conditions are treated as linguistic variables. Each descriptive term used to characterize an environmental variable is treated as a fuzzy granule and is represented with a fuzzy membership function. Fuzzy membership functions are defined through gathering samples of expert perception on the landscape. Using the granule-fuzzy membership functions pairs as a dictionary, an inference can decode input descriptive knowledge accordingly and conduct soil inference. The proposed approach has been tested in a case study in Dane County, Wisconsin, USA via a soil inference approach (soil-land inference model, SoLIM). The mapping result shows that the mapping with word version of SoLIM has an 85% accuracy based on collected field points, better than a comparable earlier version (about 78%). Traditional soil survey maps usually have a mapping accuracy about 60%. The proposed methodology can be adapted to other knowledge-based natural resource mapping with slight modifications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
