Abstract

This paper designed a portable device for measuring the soil surface profile. This measuring device should have the advantages of automation, high precision, high efficiency, low cost, convenient transportation, and wireless transmitting data. It was mainly composed of a body frame (rail trestle), a motor-trolley, and data system. The motor-trolley can walk along the crossbeam of the body frame. When motor-trolley walking, the laser range finder installed on motor-trolley will measuring the points of the soil surface profile. While, the measuring data will be transmitted to receiving laptop. Through soil surface profile two-dimensional data achieving, and the integration of multiple soil surface profile data, the three-dimensional data of the slope can be got. Using common data analysis software will be able to reconstruct the soil surface microrelief.
