  • Vis-NIR equipped soil penetrometer
    Patent number: 10337159
    Abstract: Soil penetrometers capable of measuring soil reflectance along the direction of insertion of the penetrometer are provided. The penetrometer can house an array of sensors, such as, for example, a Vis-NIR reflectance sensor, a load cell, a displacement sensor, and a moisture sensor. The reflectance data collected using the penetrometer can allow the interpretation and quantification of soil constituents and contaminants at high vertical resolution, such as 3 cm or more.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 2, 2019
    Assignees: The Texas A&M University System, Washington State University
