Slope stability involves developing a terrain slope profile and determining the geometry of the failure surface to compute the slope factor of safety. Terrain capture and reconstruction traditionally has been expensive, time consuming and manpower intensive. This innovative method utilizing unmanned aerial system technology alongside the advancement in graphics processing can be proven as more effective and cost efficient. This research aims to develop a method to forecast the occurrence of landslide by utilizing drone technology. The objectives are to obtain data on terrain slope, create 3D model of the land, then perform analysis on the slope stability. Drone technology equipped with high accuracy GPS system captures high resolution aerial images of a land area for mapping. The data obtained is uploaded into computer software to generate the 3D model of the land. Then, the critical details such as contours or the elevations can be extracted. This information is transferred into an alternative software such as GeoStudio to analyze the stability of slope. Thus, the results can be used to predict the level of safety of the terrain slope and taken for further safety measures involving the particular area.
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.
