Background Art

[0002] The evaluation of landslide occurrence probability is an important part of geological disaster prevention and preparedness. In conventional evaluation methods, generally, judgments are made depending on on-site investigations and experience, which takes time and is costly. With the development of computer technology and data science, data-driven methods have gradually become an important research direction for the evaluation of landslide occurrence probability.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 21, a computer-based federated learning and UNet-based method for evaluating landslide probability includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: Extract landslide spatial data for the research area.

[0022] In this study, we selected areas in southwestern China prone to frequent landslides as our research subjects, focusing on Wenchuan County and Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County for methodological validation. These regions are known for their complex topography and geological conditions, and frequent seismic activity and torrential rains lead to frequent landslide disasters. Since the Wenchuan earthquake, the combined effect of geological structural changes and rainfall has further increased the risk of landslides.

[0023] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, landslide sample data has been collected from Wenchuan County and Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County.

[0024] Step 2: Extract information on influencing factors.

[0025] Influence factor information is extracted from the multi-source data in Step 1 via the ArcGIS platform. The influence factors originate from four aspects: topographic elements include slope direction (as shown in Figures 8 and 9), slope degree (as shown in Figures 6 and 7), elevation (as shown in Figures 4 and 5), and curvature (as shown in Figures 10 and 11); geological elements include lithology (as shown in Figures 12 and 13); hydrological elements include distance from water systems (as shown in Figures 14 and 15); and land cover elements include land use (as shown in Figures 16 and 17).

[0026] Step 3: Build a landslide sample dataset.

[0027] We obtain landslide history data and landslide risk point data. Based on landslide history data and landslide risk point data, a landslide sample dataset will be constructed. Specifically, the number of landslide rasters within a rectangular area will be determined. If the number of landslide rasters within this area exceeds 50%, the area will be marked as a landslide point; if it is less than 50%, it will be marked as a non-landslide point. The experimental dataset was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in an 8:2 ratio, where landslide samples were labeled 1 and non-landslide samples were labeled 0.

[0028] Step 4: Perform data augmentation on the landslide sample dataset.

[0029] The specific steps for augmenting the landslide sample dataset are as follows:

[0030] In the landslide sample dataset, identify the rasters containing landslide features. JPEG0007906342000025.jpg27170JPEG0007906342000026.jpg9170JPEG0007906342000027.jpg15170 The generated extended samples are added to the experimental dataset to improve the generalization ability and robustness of the model.

[0031] Step 5: Launch and train the UNet deep learning model.

[0032] We design a UNet-based deep learning model to ensure better extraction of landslide image features. Specifically, we use the LeakyRelU activation function, and its formula is as follows: JPEG0007906342000028.jpg14170JPEG0007906342000029.jpg136170JPEG0007906342000030.jpg23170

[0033] We process the convolution boundary using reflection padding, and the formula for reflection padding is: JPEG0007906342000031.jpg27170

[0034] The binary cross-entropy loss function is used to account for the difference between the probability distribution predicted by the model and the actual distribution. Specifically, the loss function is: JPEG0007906342000032.jpg16170JPEG0007906342000033.jpg25170

[0035] JPEG0007906342000034.jpg21170

[0036] Step 6: Establish a secure federated learning framework to ensure data privacy and security.

[0037] Specifically, a secure communication protocol is established between the two data holders, federated learning and training are performed using landslide data to obtain updated local UNet gradient parameters, and during the training process, the equation for updating the gradient parameters of the global UNet model is: JPEG0007906342000035.jpg17170JPEG0007906342000036.jpg49170 Throughout the entire process, the servers in Wenchuan County and Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County will always retain the original data and transmit only encrypted model parameters and gradient information to ensure data privacy and security.

[0038] Step 7: Applying the model and outputting the results. JPEG0007906342000037.jpg84170

[0039] Table 1 statistically shows the distribution of each level in the regional probability map predicted by the two training methods. In the prediction results from distributed training in Wenchuan County and Beichuan Qiang Autonomous County, distributed training showed a certain advantage in assessing landslide probability. In particular, in Beichuan County, distributed training significantly improved the prediction accuracy in areas with low probability and reduced misjudgments in areas with medium to high probability. This is because distributed training can better utilize the data features of each sub-domain and improve the generalization ability of the model, thereby improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the predictions.

[0040] JPEG0007906342000038.jpg56170

[0041] Step 8: Create a probability diagram.

[0042] The specific criteria for forming a distribution map of the likelihood of initial landslides occurring, based on probability values, are as follows:

[0043] (1) Probability value < 50%, representing a low level of likelihood of occurrence. (2) 50% < probability value < 70%, representing a moderate level of probability. (3) A probability value > 70% represents a region with a high probability of occurrence. JPEG0007906342000039.jpg67170

[0045] A computer-readable storage medium in which a computer program is stored, and when this program is executed by a processor, it realizes a federated learning and UNet-based landslide probability evaluation method executed by the computer.
