摘要

An apparatus, system and method for classification of a soil mass including an image acquisition module (12) having at least one light source (18); one or more soil parameter measurement devices (14,14a and 14b) to measure one or more soil parameters associated with a soil type, said soil parameters including soil resistivity, soil water content and/or soil profile; and one or more drives operable to move the image acquisition module and one or more soil parameter measurement devices, such that said one or more soil measurement devices penetrates the soil mass, and a processor that includes a classification module operable to classify the soil mass to one of at least two soil types.
