- Abstract
Loess landslides are widely distributed in Northern China and pose a significant threat to human life, natural resources, and infrastructure in mountainous regions. Accurate segmentation and measurement of loess landslides is crucial to documenting their occurrence and extent and investigating the distribution, types, and patterns of slope failures. The measurement of landslides also assists in assessing their susceptibility and risk. Herein, a novel loess landslide segmentation and measurement framework based on deep learning is proposed. Multiple experts label the ground-truth landslide regions, and simultaneous truth and performance level estimation (STAPLE) masks are generated. The U-Net segmentation algorithm is trained using a supervised approach to segment the loess landslide region. The fully connected conditional random field is integrated into the U-Net to further optimize the segmentation quality. In the final step, the predicted landslide boundaries are visualized, and the diameters (e.g., length and width) of the segmentation outcome are computed simultaneously. Four state-of-the-art segmentation algorithms are selected for the comparative analysis. The computational results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms all the other algorithms tested in terms of segmentation accuracy and boundary errors. The results verify the advantages of using STAPLE and U-Net integrated with a conditional random field.
