Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological hazard assessment technology, specifically to an intelligent assessment method for landslide hazard susceptibility. Background Technology
[0002] Landslides, a common form of geological hazard, pose a serious threat to human society and the natural environment. Accurately assessing landslide susceptibility is crucial for developing effective disaster prevention and mitigation strategies, protecting people's lives and property, and promoting regional sustainable development. Traditional landslide susceptibility assessment methods primarily rely on the experience of geological experts and qualitative analysis. These methods are often limited by the multi-source and complexity of data, making it difficult to comprehensively capture the influencing factors and inherent patterns of landslide occurrence.
[0003] With the development of information technology, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies have provided new data sources and analytical methods for landslide susceptibility assessment. However, extracting useful information and identifying key influencing factors from massive amounts of geospatial data remains a challenge. In recent years, machine learning technology has made significant progress in fields such as image recognition and natural language processing, and its application in geological hazard prediction has attracted increasing attention. In particular, the development of deep learning technology has provided new solutions for processing high-dimensional data and complex nonlinear relationships.
[0004] Although existing research has attempted to apply machine learning techniques to landslide susceptibility assessment, most studies focus on the application of single models, lacking the integration of the advantages of multiple models and in-depth mining of feature information. Furthermore, current methods often neglect the spatial correlation and temporal dynamics of data during feature extraction and model training, resulting in room for improvement in the accuracy and reliability of prediction results.
[0005] Therefore, developing a landslide hazard susceptibility assessment method that can comprehensively utilize multi-source data, integrate the advantages of multiple machine learning models, and consider the spatial correlation of data is of great scientific significance and application value for improving prediction accuracy and practicality.
