摘要

Landslides are natural calamities impacting the environments worldwide and prove to be a cataclysmic disaster for human settlements, animal habitats and infrastructures. Mitigating its life-threatening risks through preventive evacuations demands timely detection in remotely sensed complex satellite images, even when the landslide regions appear tiny. Hence, this paper presents a novel encoder-decoder architecture, MRF-LaD, employing multi-residual convolutional layers along the encoder, decoder and the bottleneck paths with skip connections for automated landslide detection in satellite images. The architecture also integrates light-weight Efficient channel attention network between the encoder layers for focused feature weighting, along with a strategically placed parallel cross-stage partial network to refine multi-scale and multi-resolution features. The bottleneck incorporates a learned single-stage transformer block for capturing and propagating fine image details during the segmentation mask construction. The proposed MRF-LaD architecture attained effective segmentation for the benchmark Landslide4sense dataset (Ghorbanzadeh in 15:9927–9942, 2022; Ghorbanzadeh in Landslide4sense: Reference benchmark data and deep learning models for landslide detection, 2022) with an \(F1=70\%\) and \(mIoU=78\%\) approximately, outperforming 10 baseline and 15 state-of-the-art existing techniques. The efficient landslide segmentation in images covering varied terrains and multiple regions worldwide claims model’s strong generalization capability, thereby contributing to multiple United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
