AI methods application for classifying stratigraphic layers of snow cover with Snow micro pen device

Abstract

In this work, AI methods were used to classify stratigraphic layers of the snow strata using measurements from the snow micro pen device. The data from the device were processed and the classified stratigraphic layers of the snow strata were compared with the direct snow pitting data. In the future, it was possible to classify stratigraphic layers of the snow strata using the available classified data of the device by the K-nearest neighbours clustering method according to the newly obtained data of the device without additional manual pitting.
