Abstract:The research of soil erosion type is the basis of studying soil loss. Inthis paper,we discussed the interpreting program, approach and mark byaerial color infrared photo for the soil erosion types. According to theimage features and their interrelating rule, qualitive and fixedposition research of soil erosion types can be done on aerial color infraredphoto. The zone distribution of the different scale erosion types may berecognized on aerial color infrared photo. The remote sensing techniquesof aerial color infrared photography have potential application value in soilerosion investigating and mapping.
