Abstract

The potential hazard of heavy metals in reclaimed mine soil has been attracted more and more attention. Hyperspectral inversion can be applied to predict the heavy metal content of the soil effectively. Three machine learning methods, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), are introduced in this paper, and then are compared with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. With the correlation analysis of heavy metal content and pretreatment spectral band, the models are constructed to predict the content of heavy metal in soil. The results show that the prediction results of machine learning methods are better than PLS, and ELM and RF are better than SVM. Analyzing the stability of the model, it can be found that the concentration of heavy metal samples will affect the prediction of ELM. Meanwhile, the stability of RF is the best than the other three models. RF algorithm has also the highest accuracy in the inversion of soil heavy metal research.
