Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for agricultural monitoring of soil characteristics and determining soil color are described herein. In one example, a method of calculating soil color data includes obtaining, with sensors of a soil apparatus, soil measurements. The method further includes calculating soil color values in a visible spectrum including at least one of red, green, and blue color values based on the soil measurements and determining color data for at least one color image without false image artifacts based on the calculated soil color values and associated coordinates within an agricultural field.
