Purpose and aims
The main goal of this project is to design and build an artificial intelligence-based tool to automate the detection and characterization of preferential flow in soils using a dataset of images of stained soil profiles. Specifically, the AI-based tool should be able to: 1) recognize and characterize preferential flow pathways, and 2) quantify the degree of preferential flow.
Potential research questions (RQ)
RQ1: What type of visual approach of AI can be used to classify efficiently different types of PF using a limited number of images?
RQ2: What AI-based algorithm can be used to automatize the calculation of PF level?
