Landslide Sensitivity Mapping Based on One-Dimensional Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

Landslide is a common geological disaster. Landslide sensitivity mapping (LSM) is the key technology for landslide monitoring, early warning and risk assessment. Deep learning shows good performance in feature extraction. This paper proposes a one-dimensional residual convolution neural network (1DRCNN), which takes Yunyang County, Chongqing City, China, located in the Three Gorges Reservoir area as the research area. Extracting 12 evaluation factors from multi-source remote sensing data and building a training set. The spatial probability of landslide occurrence is quantitatively predicted by the proposed model, and finally, the landslide sensitivity mapping is generated. Compared with the common machine learning models SVM and logistic regression, the results show that the AUC (area under curve) and accuracy of 1D-RCNN are 0.9860 and 93.38%, respectively, which proving that this method is effective and can provide a reference for disaster prevention and reduction.
