The invention discloses an early identification method of potential landslide based on the remote sensing technology, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, obtaining remote sensing data, landform data and geological data of a projection region; S2, extracting a landslide development factor and a value range; S3, building a landslide factor set standard unit; S4, building a model, and dividing a landslide development high-risk region; S5, carrying out the differential interferometer radar remote sensing monitoring of the landslide development high-risk region, extracting the deformation and crack information of the high-risk region, and achieving the early recognition of the potential landslide. The method can achieve the early recognition of the potential landslide in a large range, achieves the focusing of a key region, breaks the point measurement range of a conventional method, achieves the area monitoring recognition, can greatly reduce the manpower and material resource investment, remarkably reduces the early recognition cost of the potential landslide, and improves the project operation safety and disaster prevention and disaster mitigation level.
