Welcome to pysoilmap’s documentation!

This is a python library and command line program for performing Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) and related task.

This project aims to provide a high-level user interface and examples for common tasks related to DSM, accessible through a command line interface or python APIs. The actual legwork is done by established libraries for numerical computations, machine-learning, image-processing, geostatistics, projections, geometries, file-formats, etc. Customized solutions are implemented where needed or more convenient.

Features

This project has just been initiated, there are not many features yet.

Features so far:

  • (none)

Roadmap

In the future, we plan on working the following features:

  • common interface for several machine learning models for linear regression, kriging, regression-kriging, random forests, …

  • computation of several topographic covariates from DEM (curvatures, slope, aspect, radiation angle, …)

  • plotting of raster and vector data

  • reprojection, resampling

  • sampling points from vector datasets

  • custom non-stationary GP kernels for DSM

  • algorithms for experimental design (DOE)

  • 3D terrain survey

  • …?
