Identify Landslide Precursors from Time Series InSAR Results
International Journal of Disaster Risk Science(2023)
摘要
Landslides cause huge human and economic losses globally. Detecting landslide precursors is crucial for disaster prevention. The small baseline subset interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (SBAS-InSAR) has been a popular method for detecting landslide precursors. However, non-monotonic displacements in SBAS-InSAR results are pervasive, making it challenging to single out true landslide signals. By exploiting time series displacements derived by SBAS-InSAR, we proposed a method to identify moving landslides. The method calculates two indices (global/local change index) to rank monotonicity of the time series from the derived displacements. Using two thresholds of the proposed indices, more than 96% of background noises in displacement results can be removed. We also found that landslides on the east and west slopes are easier to detect than other slope aspects for the Sentinel-1 images. By repressing background noises, this method can serve as a convenient tool to detect landslide precursors in mountainous areas.
