There has been an ongoing demand for monitoring landslides due to the heavy economic losses and casualties caused by such natural disasters. In this paper, we introduce a swift landslide detection system that can detect and segment landslides occurring on roads. To tackle the challenges of data collection, we propose an automatic annotation procedure to create a new landslide dataset consisting of 2963 images, termed the LandslidePTIT dataset. Additionally, we construct a novel deep learning architecture that can perform both classification and segmentation tasks well from a few annotated images of landslides. Specifically, the model consists of four main modules that are delicately designed to solve the few-shot segmentation problem using landslide images, namely hypercorrelation construction, attentive squeeze block, a cross-feature layer, and broadcast and squeeze layer. Experimental results exhibit the superiority of the proposed methods in comparison with competitive baselines, in terms of both quantitative and qualitative manners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
