SEGMENTATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF NEPAL EARTHQUAKE INDUCED LANDSLIDES USING SENTINEL-1 PRODUCT
On April 26, 2015, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred, with epicentre at Barpak (28°12'20''N,84°44'19''E), Nepal. Landslides induced due to the earthquake and its aftershock added to the natural disaster claiming more than 9000...

| Summary: | On April 26, 2015, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred, with epicentre at Barpak (28°12'20''N,84°44'19''E),
Nepal. Landslides induced due to the earthquake and its aftershock added to the natural disaster claiming more than 9000 lives.
Landslides represented as lines that extend from the head scarp to the toe of the deposit were mapped by the staff of the British
Geological Survey and is available freely under Open Data Commons Open Database License(ODC-ODbL) license at the Humanitarian
Data Exchange Program. This collection of 5578 landslides is used as preliminary ground truth in this study with the aim of producing
polygonal delineation of the landslides from the polylines via object oriented segmentation. Texture measures from Sentinel-1a Ground
Range Detected (GRD) Amplitude data and eigenvalue-decomposed Single Look Complex (SLC) polarimetry product are stacked for
this purpose. This has also enabled the investigation of landslide properties in the H-Alpha plane, while developing a classification
mechanism for identifying the occurrence of landslides. |
