Abstract

In this study, image processing and artificial neural network was used to efficiently identify the nutrients and pH level of soil with the use of Soil Test Kit (STK) and Rapid Soil Testing (RST) of the Bureau of Soils and Water Management: (1) pH, (2) Nitrogen, (3) Phosphorus, (4) Potassium, (5) Zinc, (6) Calcium, and (7) Magnesium. The composition of the system is made of five sections namely soil testing, image capturing, image processing, training system for neural network, and result. The use of Artificial Neural Network is to hasten the performance of image processing in giving accurate result. The system will base on captured image data, 70% for training, 15% for testing and 15% for validation as default of neural network tool of MATLAB. Based on the result, the program will show the qualitative level of soil nutrients and pH. Overall, this study identifies the soil nutrient and pH level of the soil and was proven accurate.
