ST-GUI: A Windows-based GUI for Automatic Soil Textural Classification
BackThis project involved the development of a Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) application aimed at automating the classification of soil textures. The program is fully developed in Python, offering a user-friendly and efficient solution for soil scientists and agricultural professionals to handle large datasets of soil samples with ease.
Key Features
- Automatic Textural Classification: The application automatically classifies soil based on sand, silt, and clay content, simplifying the analysis process for a wide range of soil samples.
- Batch Processing: The tool can handle large quantities of soil samples in a single operation, providing results with just one click.
- Comprehensive Calculations: The application supports calculations with and without hydrometer readings and includes temperature corrections, ensuring precise results.
- Easy-to-Navigate Interface: Designed with ease of use in mind, the GUI is modern, clean, and intuitive.
- Real-Time Feedback: The inclusion of a status bar and warning system provides real-time feedback, helping users avoid potential mistakes during data entry and processing.
- CSV Exporting for Analysis: Results can be exported in CSV format for further analysis or use in external programs, making data integration seamless.
Advantages
- Efficiency: With its ability to process large datasets and automate the classification of soil textures, this tool saves time and reduces manual effort in calculations.
- User-Friendly: The GUI is accessible to users with varying technical expertise, offering a straightforward interface.
- Versatility: The program handles different types of textural calculations.
- Data Handling: The ability to export data in CSV format supports further analysis and documentation in other applications like spreadsheets.
