Abstract
Landslide recognition (LR) is a fundamental task for disaster prevention and control. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer architectures have been widely used for extracting landslide information. However, CNNs cannot accurately characterize long-distance dependencies and global information, while the transformer may not be as effective as CNNs in capturing local features and spatial information. To address these limitations, we construct a new LR network based on grid-based attention and multilevel feature fusion (GAMTNet). We complement CNNs by adding a transformer-based structure in a layer-by-layer fashion and improving methods for sequence generation and attention weight calculation. As a result, GAMTNet effectively learns global and local information about landslides across various spatial scales. We evaluated our model using landslide data collected from the southwest region of Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan, and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. The results demonstrate that the proposed GAMTNet model achieves an
F
1-score of 0.8951, a Kappa coefficient of 0.8807, and an MIoU of 0.8908, indicating its capability for the accurate landslide identification and its potential application in LR tasks.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing addresses the growing field of applications in Earth observations and remote sensing, and also provides a venue for the rapidly expanding special issues that are being sponsored by the IEEE Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society. The journal draws upon the experience of the highly successful “IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing” and provide a complementary medium for the wide range of topics in applied earth observations. The ‘Applications’ areas encompasses the societal benefit areas of the Global Earth Observations Systems of Systems (GEOSS) program. Through deliberations over two years, ministers from 50 countries agreed to identify nine areas where Earth observation could positively impact the quality of life and health of their respective countries. Some of these are areas not traditionally addressed in the IEEE context. These include biodiversity, health and climate. Yet it is the skill sets of IEEE members, in areas such as observations, communications, computers, signal processing, standards and ocean engineering, that form the technical underpinnings of GEOSS. Thus, the Journal attracts a broad range of interests that serves both present members in new ways and expands the IEEE visibility into new areas.
