Satellite interferometric data for landslide intensity evaluation in mountainous regions

Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MTInSAR) data offer a valuable support to landslide mapping and to landslide activity estimation in mountain environments, where in situ measures are sometimes difficult to gather. Nowadays, the interferometric approach is more and more used for wide-areas analysis, providing useful information for risk management actors but at the same time requiring a lot of efforts to correctly interpret what satellite data are telling us. In this context, hot-spot-like analyses that select and highlight the fastest moving areas in a region of interest, are a good operative solution for reducing the time needed to inspect a whole interferometric dataset composed by thousands or millions of points. In this work, we go beyond the concept of MTInSAR data as simple mapping tools by proposing an approach whose final goal is the quantification of the potential loss experienced by an element at risk hit by a potential landslide. To do so, it is mandatory to evaluate landslide intensity. Here, we estimate intensity using Active Deformation Areas (ADA) extracted from Sentinel-1 MTInSAR data. Depending on the localization of each ADA with respect to the urban areas, intensity is derived in two different ways. Once exposure and vulnerability of the elements at risk are estimated, the potential loss due to a landslide of a given intensity is calculated. We tested our methodology in the Eastern Valle d’Aosta (north-western Italy), along four lateral valleys of the Dora Baltea Valley. This territory is characterized by steep slopes and by numerous active and dormant landslides. The goal of this work is to develop a regional scale methodology based on satellite radar interferometry to assess the potential impact of landslides on the urban fabric.

深度学习支持下的丘陵山区耕地高分辨率遥感信息分区分层提取方法

耕地是丘陵山区稀缺的土地资源,具有地形条件复杂、种植结构多样的特点,导致了山地耕地信息难以快速、准确获取,并且基于传统的遥感数据及遥感监测方法开展山区耕地信息快速自动提取比较困难。针对这一问题,本文以西南山区贵州省息烽县作为试验区,根据地理空间异质性特征,提出分区控制、分层提取的耕地形态信息提取思路,构建了一种地貌单元约束条件下的分区分层耕地形态信息的提取方法。该方法首先根据地貌-植被特征将试验区划分为平坝区、山坡区、林草区3类地理分区;然后在每类分区基础上,根据耕地所呈现的视觉特征划分为不同的类型,对不同类型的耕地分别设计不同的深度学习模型进行分层提取。试验结果证明,该方法对山区复杂地形背景噪声具有较好的抑制作用,所提取的耕地地块信息相比于传统方法更符合实际耕地的实际分布形态,有效地减少了漏提率和错提率。     

顾及样本优化选择的多核支持向量机滑坡灾害易发性分析评价

滑坡灾害易发性分析评价对地质灾害的防治与管理具有重要意义。针对滑坡灾害样本选择策略,单核支持向量机多特征映射不合理的问题,本文提出顾及样本优化选择的多核支持向量机(multiple kernel support vector machine,MKSVM)滑坡灾害易发性分析评价方法。为了保证样本平衡性并提高负样本的合理性,采用相对频率比(relative frequency,RF)综合评价各状态对于滑坡灾害易发性影响的重要程度,实现各评价因子状态的合理划分;利用确定性系数法(certainty factor,CF)计算各评价因子各状态分级影响滑坡灾害的敏感性,并在此基础上进行加权求和得到各栅格单元的滑坡灾害易发性指数,在滑坡灾害易发性指数极低和低易发区内随机选择与滑坡灾害点数目一致的非滑坡灾害点作为负样本数据。利用MKSVM对各特征空间最优核函数进行线性组合,解决了单一核函数映射不合理的问题,提高了模型的分类准确率和预测精度。以湖南省湘西土家族苗族自治州为研究区,从滑坡灾害易发性分区图、分区统计及评价模型精度3个方面对CF样本策略的MKSVM模型、CF样本策略的单核SVM模型、随机样本策略的MKSVM模型、随机样本策略的单核SVM模型进行了对比分析。结果表明,4种模型的受试者工作特征曲线(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)下的面积(area under curve,AUC)分别为0.859、0.809、0.798、0.766,验证了CF样本策略的合理性、有效性及MKSVM模型的可靠性。

GIS-based landslide susceptibility model considering effective contributing area for drainage time

This study employed GIS modelling to ascertain landslide susceptibility on Mt. Umyeon, south of Seoul, South Korea. In this study, an effective contributing area (ECA) for certain drainage time was purposed as a temporal causative factor and then used for modelling in combination with spatial causative factors such as elevation, slope, plan curvature, drainage proximity, forest type, soil type and geology. Landslide inventory map of 163 landslide locations was prepared using aerial photographic interpretation and field verifications after that digitized using GIS environment in 1:5000 scale. A presence-only-based maximum entropy model was used to establish and analyse the relationship between landslides and causative factors. Before final modelling, a jackknife test was performed to measure the variable contributions, which showed that the slope was the most significant spatial causative factor, and ECA with a drainage time of 12 h was the most significant temporal causative factor. The performances of the final models, with and without significant ECA, were assessed by plotting a receiver operating characteristic curve to be 75.5 and 81.2%, respectively.     

Evaluation of environmental parameters in logistic regression models for landslide susceptibility mapping

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine how well the landslide susceptibility parameters, obtained by data-dependent statistical models, matched with the parameters used in the literature. In order to achieve this goal, 20 different environmental parameters were mapped in a well-studied landslide-prone area, the Asarsuyu catchment in northwest Turkey. A total of 4400 seed cells were generated from 47 different landslides and merged with different attributes of 20 different environmental causative variables into a database. In order to run a series of logistic regression models, different random landslide-free sample sets were produced and combined with seed cells. Different susceptibility maps were created with an average success rate of nearly 80%. The coherence among the models showed spatial correlations greater than 90%. Models converged in the parameter selection peculiarly, in that the same nine of 20 were chosen by different logistic regression models. Among these nine parameters, lithology, geological structure (distance/density), landcover-landuse, and slope angle were common parameters selected by both the regression models and literature. Accuracy assessment of the logistic models was assessed by absolute methods. All models were field checked with the landslides resulting from the 12 November 1999, Kayna?li Earthquake (Ms = 7.2).

A comparison of Support Vector Machines and Bayesian algorithms for landslide susceptibility modelling

Abstract

In this study, the main goal is to compare the predictive capability of Support Vector Machines (SVM) with four Bayesian algorithms namely Naïve Bayes Tree (NBT), Bayes network (BN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Decision Table Naïve Bayes (DTNB) for identifying landslide susceptibility zones in Pauri Garhwal district (India). First, landslide inventory map was built using 1295 historical landslide data, then in total sixteen influencing factors were selected and tested for landslide susceptibility modelling. Performance of the model was evaluated and compared using Statistical based index methods, Area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve named AUC, and Chi-square method. Analysis results show that that the SVM has the highest prediction capability, followed by the NBT, DTNBT, BN and NB, respectively. Thus, this study confirms that the SVM is one of the benchmark models for the assessment of susceptibility of landslides.     

基于深度学习的滑坡位移时空预测

滑坡变形监测数据是认识滑坡变形演化规律的直接依据,对该数据深度挖掘是实现滑坡灾害预警预报的有力保障。现有的滑坡位移预测模型多局限于单个监测点的时序预测,且未考虑监测点间的空间相关性。针对上述问题,本文提出了一种基于深度学习的滑坡位移时空预测模型:首先,构建表达所有点间空间相关性的加权邻接矩阵;其次,引入外界影响因素加强属性特征矩阵,以构建图结构数据;最后,采用集合图卷积网络(GCN)和门控循环单元(GRU)的深度学习模型,并通过多组试验寻找最优超参数,实现滑坡位移的时空预测。本文模型结果的均方根误差为4.429 mm,与对比模型相比至少降低了47.3%。而消融试验结果也显示,引入外界影响因素的属性增强可进一步提高模型的预测性能,均方根误差相对于未属性增强结果减少了28.4%。结果表明,该方法可用于滑坡位移或其他地质灾害中同样具有时空关联属性的观测量的时空预测。     

Using InfoVal method and GIS techniques for the spatial modelling of landslide susceptibility in the upper catchment of river Meenachil in Kerala

A GIS-based statistical methodology for landslide susceptibility zonation is described and its application to a study area in the Western Ghats of Kerala (India) is presented. The study area was approximately 218.44 km² and 129 landslides were identified in this area. The environmental attributes used for the landslide susceptibility analysis include geomorphology, slope, aspect, slope length, plan curvature, profile curvature, elevation, drainage density, distance from drainages, lineament density, distance from lineaments and land use. The quantitative relationship between landslides and factors affecting landslides are established by the data driven-Information Value (InfoVal) — method. By applying and integrating the InfoVal weights using ArcGIS software, a continuous scale of numerical indices (susceptibility index) is obtained with which the study area is divided into five classes of landslide susceptibility. In order to validate the results of the susceptibility analysis, a success rate curve was prepared. The map obtained shows that a great majority of the landslides (74.42%) identified in the field were located in susceptible and highly susceptible zones (27.29%). The area ratio calculated by the area under curve (AUC) method shows a prediction accuracy of 80.45%. The area having a high scale of susceptibility lies on side slope plateaus and denudational hills with high slopes where drainage density is relatively low and terrain modification is relatively intense.

A novel ensemble approach of bivariate statistical-based logistic model tree classifier for landslide susceptibility assessment

Abstract

This study addresses landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) using a novel ensemble approach of using a bivariate statistical method (weights of evidence [WoE] and evidential belief function [EBF])-based logistic model tree (LMT) classifier. The performance and prediction capability of the ensemble models were assessed using the area under the ROC curve (AUROC), standard error, 95% confidence intervals and significance level P. Model performance analyses indicated that the AUROC values of the WoE–LMT ensemble model using the training and validation data-sets were 86.02 and 85.9%, respectively, whereas those of the EBF–LMT ensemble model were 88.2 and 87.8%, respectively. On the other hand, the AUC curves for the four landslide susceptibility maps indicated that the AUC values of the ensemble models of WoE–LMT (85.11 and 83.98%) and EBF–LMT (86.21 and 85.23%) could improve the performance and prediction accuracy of single WoE (84.23 and 82.46%) and EBF (85.39 and 81.33%) models for the training and validation data-sets.     

A novel hybrid approach of Bayesian Logistic Regression and its ensembles for landslide susceptibility assessment

Abstract

A novel artificial intelligence approach of Bayesian Logistic Regression (BLR) and its ensembles [Random Subspace (RS), Adaboost (AB), Multiboost (MB) and Bagging] was introduced for landslide susceptibility mapping in a part of Kamyaran city in Kurdistan Province, Iran. A spatial database was generated which includes a total of 60 landslide locations and a set of conditioning factors tested by the Information Gain Ratio technique. Performance of these models was evaluated using the area under the ROC curve (AUROC) and statistical index-based methods. Results showed that the hybrid ensemble models could significantly improve the performance of the base classifier of BLR (AUROC?=?0.930). However, RS model (AUROC?=?0.975) had the highest performance in comparison to other landslide ensemble models, followed by Bagging (AUROC?=?0.972), MB (AUROC?=?0.970) and AB (AUROC?=?0.957) models, respectively.
