Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of slope deformation monitoring technology, and in particular to a method for identifying and warning of landslide deformation anomalies based on seasonal decomposition residuals. Background Technology
[0002] Landslide deformation monitoring is a core task in slope engineering and geological disaster prevention, and its accuracy and timeliness directly affect the safety of people's lives and property in landslide-affected areas. Currently, modern monitoring technologies can achieve high-frequency and accurate acquisition of landslide displacement and deformation rates, accumulating massive amounts of data for stability assessment. However, in the crucial link from data to decision-making—deformation anomaly identification and early warning—the existing technological system still has serious shortcomings.
[0003] Current landslide deformation early warning mainly relies on static threshold methods or simple statistical models based on the overall deformation rate, which suffers from three major technical bottlenecks: First, it cannot effectively separate trend and seasonal components from deformation data, misinterpreting normal fluctuations such as seasonal expansion and contraction as instability signals, leading to frequent false alarms. Second, it is insensitive to slowly accumulating creep trends and sudden accelerated deformation, resulting in delayed anomaly identification and often missing the optimal early warning window. Third, the early warning triggering mechanism is singular, lacking the ability to quickly assist in judging the causes of abnormal events, affecting the accuracy of emergency decision-making. Although some existing technologies have attempted to introduce complex time series models, they are generally computationally complex, have poor practicality, and have failed to establish a complete technical system from "data seasonal decomposition" to "residual anomaly identification" to "intelligent early warning and attribution," thus failing to meet the urgent need for early and accurate early warning of landslide disasters. (Invention Content)
[0004] This invention proposes a method for identifying and warning of landslide deformation anomalies based on seasonal decomposition residuals. It achieves accurate identification and graded warning of anomalies under the premise of effectively removing seasonal interference, providing reliable technical support for the early prevention and control of landslide disasters.
[0005] A method for identifying and warning of landslide deformation anomalies based on seasonal decomposition residuals includes the following steps:
[0006] S1 Data Acquisition and Preprocessing: Collect time-series deformation data from landslide monitoring points, and perform data cleaning and initial standardization to form time-regular deformation sequence data;
[0007] S2 seasonal decomposition: The seasonal decomposition algorithm is used to decompose the standardized deformed sequence data to obtain the trend term reflecting long-term changes, the seasonal term reflecting periodic fluctuations, and the residual term remaining after removing the trend term and the seasonal term.
[0008] S3 Residual Anomaly Identification: Analyze the characteristics of the residual sequence, identify anomalies in the residual sequence formed by the residual terms, and identify abnormal residual points that exceed the normal fluctuation range as criteria for landslide deformation anomalies.
[0009] S4 Integrated Early Warning and Attribution Analysis: When an anomaly is detected, the risk level of the landslide is assessed and an early warning is issued by combining the long-term trend of the integrated trend item and the periodic pattern of the seasonal item. At the same time, geological and meteorological data from the same period are used to assist in the judgment of the cause of the anomaly.
[0010] The method of this invention establishes a complete intelligent analysis and early warning technology system for landslide deformation through techniques such as seasonal decomposition of time-series data, extraction of residual components, machine learning anomaly identification, and multi-source information fusion and analysis. It achieves accurate anomaly identification and graded early warning under the premise of effectively removing seasonal interference, providing reliable technical support for the early prevention and control of landslide disasters.

[0022] Example 1: A method for identifying and warning of landslide deformation anomalies based on seasonal decomposition residuals, comprising the following steps:
[0023] S1 Data Acquisition and Preprocessing: Collect time-series deformation data from landslide monitoring points, and perform data cleaning and initial standardization to form time-regular deformation sequence data;
[0024] S2 seasonal decomposition: The seasonal decomposition algorithm is used to decompose the standardized deformed sequence data to obtain the trend term reflecting long-term changes, the seasonal term reflecting periodic fluctuations, and the residual term remaining after removing the trend term and the seasonal term.
[0025] S3 Residual Anomaly Identification: Analyze the characteristics of the residual sequence, identify anomalies in the residual sequence formed by the residual terms, and identify abnormal residual points that exceed the normal fluctuation range as criteria for landslide deformation anomalies.
[0026] S4 Integrated Early Warning and Attribution Analysis: When an anomaly is detected, the risk level of the landslide is assessed and an early warning is issued by combining the long-term trend of the integrated trend item and the periodic pattern of the seasonal item. At the same time, geological and meteorological data from the same period are used to assist in the judgment of the cause of the anomaly.
[0027] The monitoring points for the landslide body can determine the monitoring content according to the monitoring design principles. When surface deformation monitoring is the main focus, surface deformation monitoring captures the range of surface displacement and deformation rate.
[0028] In S1, data cleaning and initial standardization are performed using the Z-Score standardization method to linearly interpolate and impute missing values. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0029] ;
[0030] in, This is the original data. The mean of the sequence. The standard deviation of the sequence. This is the standardized data.
[0031] The time-series deformation data in S1 includes the displacement and monthly average deformation rate data of the landslide monitoring points. The monitoring frequency is no less than once a month, and the data collection period is no less than 12 months to cover the complete seasonal cycle. Taking the J03 monitoring point as an example, the horizontal displacement data in the X direction (downstream), the horizontal displacement data in the Y direction, and the vertical displacement data of this point are monitored and listed in Tables 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3, respectively, forming a time-regular deformation sequence data, specifically a monthly average deformation rate sequence. When the monitoring data is cumulative displacement data, the monthly average deformation rate is calculated by performing time-series differencing on the displacement data.

[0038] The seasonal decomposition algorithm in S2 decomposes the standardized deformed sequence into trend, seasonality, and residual terms, and the calculation formula is as follows:
[0039] ;
[0040] in, The data is the standardized deformed sequence data at time t. The value of the trend term at time t. The seasonality value at time t. Let t be the value of the residual term at time t.
[0041] The trend term represents the non-periodic long-term evolution direction and rate dominated by the internal geological conditions and long-term load of the landslide body. Its magnitude directly reflects the stability state and potential risk level of the landslide body.
[0042] The seasonality term characterizes the deformation fluctuations with a fixed frequency that are periodically driven by seasonal environmental factors such as atmospheric rainfall and temperature changes. The magnitude of the fluctuations reflects the sensitivity of the landslide body to external disturbances.
[0043] The residual term, which is the sequence component remaining after stripping the trend and seasonal terms from the original data, contains measurement noise, model errors, and abnormal deformation signals that cannot be explained by trends and periodic patterns. It is a key indicator for identifying sudden or non-periodic instability of landslide bodies.
[0044] Taking the J03 measuring point as an example, the seasonal decomposition algorithm of S2 is used to standardize the displacements in the X, Y, and vertical directions of this point, and the standardized deformation sequence is decomposed into trend, seasonal, and residual terms, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown.
[0045] The residual anomaly identification in S3 is performed automatically using an isolated forest approach, and the steps include:
[0046] S3-1 uses the residual sequence of each monitoring point as the input feature;
[0047] S3-2 recursively and randomly splits the samples by constructing 100-200 isolated trees;
[0048] S3-3 calculates the average path length of each residual data point in all isolated trees by recursively and randomly partitioning the sample space.
[0049] S3-4 calculates the outlier score for each residual data point, and determines and outputs residual outlier points based on the preset outlier score threshold.
[0050] The formula for calculating the anomaly score is:
[0051] ;
[0052] in, The aforementioned abnormal scores, For the sample The number of samples in the dataset. The path length of a single residual sample in the isolated tree. According to The calculated average path length, This represents the average path length of each sample point in the sample dataset.
[0053] Based on the above calculation method, the abnormal scores in the X direction, Y direction and vertical direction (H) are calculated respectively. The residual abnormal points are determined and output according to the preset abnormal score threshold and listed in Table 2-1, Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.

[0060] Based on the data in Tables 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3, a schematic diagram of the automatic residual identification results is generated, as shown below. Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 .
[0061] The integrated early warning and attribution analysis in S4 includes the following specific steps:
[0062] S4-1 Risk Level Multidimensional Assessment: Based on the magnitude of the abnormal scores and spatial distribution of the residual abnormal points, as well as whether the trend of the point accelerates during the same period, the landslide risk level is divided into three levels: attention, warning, and alert.
[0063] S4-2 Abnormal Situation Attribution: Abnormal situations are divided into two types:
[0064] Externally triggered deformation judgment: When residual abnormal points are identified, the synchronous rainfall data is automatically retrieved to determine the amount of rainfall and whether there is continuous rainfall, monitor earthquake activity with a magnitude greater than 3 on the Richter scale, and comprehensively judge the construction situation near the landslide body. Then, the abnormality is attributed to deformation triggered by external environmental disturbance.
[0065] Spontaneous instability determination: When there is no obvious external disturbance as described above, if the rate of change of the trend term exceeds twice the standard deviation of its historical average, the anomaly is attributed to spontaneous instability caused by the deterioration of the internal structure of the landslide body.
[0066] S4-3 Tiered Early Warning Issuance and Feedback: Based on the determined risk level and attribution results, corresponding early warning information is issued; for anomalies judged as "spontaneous instability", their risk level is automatically raised by one level, and a comprehensive assessment report containing anomaly location, risk level, cause inference and handling suggestions is generated.
