Heavy metal pollution in soil is threatening the ecological environment and human health. However, field measurement of heavy metal content in soil entails significant costs. Therefore, this study explores the estimation method of soil heavy metals based on remote sensing images and machine learning. To accurately estimate the heavy metal content, we propose a hybrid artificial intelligence model integrating least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), genetic algorithm (GA) and error back propagation neural network (BPNN), namely the LASSO-GA-BPNN model. Meanwhile, this study compares the accuracy of the LASSO-GA-BPNN model, SVR (Support Vector Regression), RF (Random Forest) and spatial interpolation methods with Huanghua city as an example. Furthermore, the study uses the LASSO-GA-BPNN model to estimate the content of eight heavy metals (including Ni, Pb, Cr, Hg, Cd, As, Cu, and Zn) in Huanghua and visualize the results in high resolution. In addition, we calculate the Nemerow index based on the estimation results. The results denote that, the simultaneous optimization of BPNN by LASSO and GA can greatly improve the estimation accuracy and generalization ability. The LASSO-GA-BPNN model is a more accurate model for the estimate heavy metal content in soil compared to SVR, RF and spatial interpolation. Moreover, the comprehensive pollution level in Huanghua is mainly low pollution. The overall spatial distribution law of each heavy metal content is very similar, and the local spatial distribution of each heavy metal is different. The results are of great significance for soil pollution estimation.
