Mapping Soil Surface Macropores Using Infrared Thermography: An Exploratory Laboratory Study

Figure 5

Comparison between the boundaries of the actual macropores and the area detected with thermography, for the four scenarios. Across the area scanned by the thermographic camera, the macropores are located using () coordinates. The -axis represents the downslope distance along the length of the flume (0.5 m) and the -axis represents the distance across the width of the flume (0.3 m). See also Figures 2 and 3.
