Abstract: This invention discloses a practical method for landslide detection in large space, which comprises the following steps: image synthesis, ice and snow detection, removal of non-potential landslide area, detection of potential landslide area, feature calculation, landslide detection model construction and precision validation; this invention avoids radiometric correction and outlier by detecting landslide from synthetic image. That guarantees practical applicability of the proposal. Firstly, detecting potential landslides can avoid the imbalanced sample distribution issue between background objects and landslides when training the landslide detection model. The landslide is further detected by building a random forest model based on the spectral features and textural features of potential landslide pixels in different neighboring time domains. It fully considers the changes of objects in different time domains, and lays a foundation for efficient landslide extraction.
