Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geological disaster prediction technology, and in particular to a robust evaluation method for landslide susceptibility based on multi-perspective fusion. Background Technology
[0002] Landslide susceptibility assessment is a core component of geological hazard risk assessment, aiming to identify potential future landslide locations at a regional scale. Traditional assessment methods are mostly based on deterministic models (such as infinite slope models) or statistical models (such as logistic regression and information content methods). These methods heavily rely on experts' prior knowledge and simplified assumptions about physical mechanisms, and have significant limitations when dealing with complex and nonlinear geological environmental systems.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and machine learning technologies, various data-driven intelligent models have been widely used in landslide susceptibility modeling, such as support vector machines, random forests, gradient boosting decision trees, and neural networks. These methods can automatically learn the complex nonlinear relationships between a large number of environmental factors (such as elevation, slope, lithology, rainfall, and human activities) and landslide occurrence, and have shown superior predictive performance compared to traditional methods in many cases.
[0004] However, existing evaluation methods based on single machine learning models still face several challenges: First, insufficient model robustness. The fixed structure and assumptions of a single model make it susceptible to noise, outliers, or sample distribution biases in the training data, leading to unstable generalization ability of the evaluation results under different regions or data conditions. Second, limited perspective and information utilization. Most models indiscriminately input all features, failing to consciously separate and utilize the different levels of information contained within the features, such as global macroscopic laws, the local dominance of key driving factors, and the nonlinear interactive synergistic effects between different factors. Third, the balance between model interpretability and reliability. Simple models offer strong interpretability but may have limited performance, while complex ensemble models offer superior performance but their decision-making process is like a "black box," making it difficult for experts in the field of geological hazards to fully trust their results, thus hindering guidance for practical disaster prevention work.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new technical solution that can systematically integrate different analytical perspectives to improve the accuracy of landslide susceptibility prediction while enhancing the robustness of the model and the interpretability of the results, thereby providing more reliable and credible decision support for geological disaster risk management. Summary of the Invention

[0013] S5: Using the global perspective prediction results, local perspective prediction results, and interactive perspective prediction results as input features, train the fusion model, and let the fusion model learn the optimal combination weights of the prediction results from each perspective to generate the final comprehensive prediction model for landslide susceptibility.
[0014] S6: Input the feature data of the area to be evaluated into the trained comprehensive prediction model, and output the landslide susceptibility probability value or risk level of the area; based on the probability value or risk level, generate a landslide susceptibility zoning map.

[0044] Example 1
[0045] Reference Figures 1-2 A robust assessment method for landslide susceptibility based on multi-perspective fusion is proposed, with the following steps:
[0046] S1: Data Acquisition and Standardization Processing
[0047] S101: Landslide logging and sample point generation.
[0048] Through high-resolution remote sensing image interpretation (such as GF-2 satellite imagery) and verification through three years of field investigation, 203 historical landslide disaster sites were accurately identified and delineated within Cili County. To address the requirement of combining landslide areal features with point-based model input, and to avoid the problem of insufficient representativeness of single pixels, a buffer circular area with a radius of 30 meters was generated, centered on the geometric center of each landslide body. This buffer effectively covers the main landslide area, and sampling points were systematically deployed within this buffer, ultimately generating 609 positive sample points representing "landslide occurrence". To ensure sample balance, in areas where no landslides had occurred and where geological and geographical conditions were representative (such as flat, intact bedrock areas and stable floodplains), a spatially constrained random sampling method was used to select an equal number of 609 negative sample points. Thus, a model training and validation dataset (X, Y) with a total of 1218 sample points was constructed, with each sample point associated with a binary label (Y: landslide = 1, non-landslide = 0).
[0049] In this embodiment, multi-source geospatial data of the target area are collected, including digital elevation model (DEM), geological map, land use map, rainfall data, seismic activity data, and historical landslide logging map.
[0050] S102: Landslide Influencing Factor Extraction and Database Construction. Based on multi-source data including digital elevation model (DEM, 12.5m resolution), geological map (1:200,000), land use dataset, and annual precipitation interpolation map, 16 environmental factors closely related to landslide development were extracted in ArcGIS and Python environments, forming an initial feature set. Mainly includes:
[0051] Topographic factors: elevation, slope, aspect, plane curvature, profile curvature, topographic relief, and topographic humidity index.
[0052] Geological condition factors: stratigraphic lithology (coded as a categorical variable), distance from fault.
[0053] Hydrological factors: distance from the river, multi-year average rainfall.
[0054] Land cover and human activity factors: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), land use type, and distance from roads.
[0055] right Missing values are checked, and numerical features are imputed using the median. All numerical features are normalized and scaled to the [0,1] interval, as shown in the following formula:
[0056] ;
[0057] in, The value of the j-th feature of the i-th sample after normalization. Let jj be the feature value of the i-th sample. and Let X be the minimum and maximum values of feature j, respectively. Let X be the processed feature set.
[0058] S103: Data preprocessing and partitioning.
[0059] For continuous factors, missing values were checked (no missing values were found in this case), and normalization was performed using Min-Max standardization. Categorical variables (such as lithology) were uniquely coded. The processed standardized feature set is denoted as X. Stratified sampling was used to randomly divide the 1218 samples into a training set of 852 samples and an independent test set of 366 samples in a 7:3 ratio. , This ensures that the ratio of positive to negative samples remains consistent in the training and test sets (approximately 1:1).

A random forest model is trained on the training set, and its built-in feature importance (Gini importance or average impurity reduction) evaluation mechanism is used to calculate the importance of each feature. Importance score Based on the scores, ranked from highest to lowest, the top 5 features (slope, lithology, elevation, distance from river, and rainfall) were selected to form a local feature subset. .
[0072] S302: Local Model Training. A lightweight gradient boosting machine (LightGBM, n_estimators=120, max_depth=4) algorithm is used as the local viewpoint model (ML). LightGBM employs gradient-based one-sided sampling (GOSS) and mutually exclusive feature binding (EFB) to improve efficiency. Its objective function is similar to XGBoost but with optimized implementation. This is achieved in the local feature subset of the training set. ( ) on Conduct training.

[0076] S4: Interactive Perspective Model Construction and Prediction
[0077] S401: Automatically construct interactive features. The system automatically combines the top M important features (e.g., the top 5) from the original feature set XX in pairs to generate new interactive features. Combination methods include:
[0078] Multiplication interaction term: ;
[0079] Addition interaction item: ;
[0080] The system automatically combines the above five key factors in pairs. For example, it generates interactive features such as "slope × rainfall" and "elevation + distance from river". This case study generates a total of [number missing] features. A new interaction feature is added, which is combined with the original 5 key factors to form a 25-dimensional interaction feature set. .

[0087] S502: Training the fusion model. Logistic Regression is used as the fusion model. Logistic regression achieves adaptive fusion by learning the weights of prediction results from different perspectives. Its model form is as follows:

The final learned weight coefficients are: =0.45, =0.30, =0.25.
