TL;DR: A novel method based on object-oriented image analysis using bi-temporal satellite images and DEM that can identify medium- and large-scale landslides efficiently is proposed.
Abstract: Landslides are one of the severe natural catastrophes that affect thousands of lives and cause colossal damage to infrastructure from small to region scales. Detection of landslide is a prerequisite for damage assessment. We propose a novel method based on object-oriented image analysis using bi-temporal satellite images and DEM. The proposed methodology involves segmentation, followed by extraction of spatial and spectral features of landslides and classification based on supervised Bayesian classifier. The proposed framework is based on the change detection of spatial features which capture the spatial attributes of landslides. The proposed methodology has been applied for the detection and mapping of landslides of different sizes in selected study sites in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, India. For this, high-resolution multispectral images from the IRS, LISS-IV sensor and DEM from Cartosat-1 are used in this study. The resultant landslides are compared and validated with the inventory landslide maps. The results show that the proposed methodology can identify medium- and large-scale landslides efficiently.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a two-phase framework for urban village boundary identification and population estimation based on heterogeneous open government data, which can not only accurately identify the boundaries of urban villages from large-scale satellite imagery by fusing road networks guided patches with bike-sharing drop-off patterns, but also accurately estimate the resident and floating populations of urban village with a proposed multi-view neural network model.
Abstract: Urban villages refer to the residential areas lagging behind the rapid urbanization process in many developing countries. These areas are usually with overcrowded buildings, high population density, and low living standards, bringing potential risks of public safety and hindering the urban development. Therefore, it is crucial for urban authorities to identify the boundaries of urban villages and estimate their resident and floating populations so as to better renovate and manage these areas. Traditional approaches, such as field surveys and demographic census, are time consuming and labor intensive, lacking a comprehensive understanding of urban villages. Against this background, we propose a two-phase framework for urban village boundary identification and population estimation. Specifically, based on heterogeneous open government data, the proposed framework can not only accurately identify the boundaries of urban villages from large-scale satellite imagery by fusing road networks guided patches with bike-sharing drop-off patterns, but also accurately estimate the resident and floating populations of urban villages with a proposed multi-view neural network model. We evaluate our method leveraging real-world datasets collected from Xiamen Island. Results show that our framework can accurately identify the urban village boundaries with an IoU of 0.827, and estimate the resident population and floating population with R2 of 0.92 and 0.94 respectively, outperforming the baseline methods. We also deploy our system on the Xiamen Open Government Data Platform to provide services to both urban authorities and citizens.

Abstract: The invention provides a remote sensing image landslide mapping method based on a deep neural network. The remote sensing image landslide mapping method comprises the steps of preprocessing remote sensing images before and after landslide; carrying out super-pixel segmentation on the landslide image; superposing the super-pixel region of the post-landslide image and the pre-landslide image to obtain a super-pixel region of the pre-landslide image; calculating a change intensity characteristic of an area where each superpixel is located; fusing the super-pixel spectral features and the change intensity features before and after the landslide to generate feature vectors; calculating the change intensity characteristics of each pixel, carrying out landslide extraction through an LSELUC algorithm, then superposing the landslide extraction with a superpixel region, calculating the change ratio of each region, and extracting a pseudo sample data set through threshold segmentation to form a landslide extraction initial result; constructing a landslide map deep neural network model, performing training by using the pseudo sample data set, and inputting feature vectors for classification; and fusing the landslide extraction initial result and the model classification result to generate a final landslide mapping result.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of spectral, shape and contextual information was used to detect landslides from false positives, and objects recognised as landslides were subsequently classified based on material type and movement as debris slides, debris flows and rock slides, using adjacency and morphometric criteria.
