Abstract
The Niexia slope, located in Danba County, Sichuan Province, China, with steep slope terrain and dense vegetation coverage, has a height difference of about 3002 m. A traditional manual survey cannot be performed here, and single remote sensing technology is not comprehensive enough to identify potential landslides on such high and steep slopes. In this paper, an integrated approach with multi-remote sensing techniques was proposed to identify potential landslides of the Niexia slope, which combined Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and optical remote sensing technologies. InSAR technology was used to monitor the small displacements of the whole slope, and three potential landslides on Niexia slope were identified. The maximum cumulative displacement reached up to 11.9 cm over 1 year. Subsequently, high-resolution optical remote sensing images acquired by remote sensing satellites and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) without vegetation influence obtained by LiDAR were used to finely interpret the sign of landslide micro-geomorphology and to determine the potential landslide geometry boundaries. As a result, four and nine potential landslides with landslide micro-geomorphic features were identified, respectively. Finally, the identification results of the three techniques were fused and analyzed to assess the potential landslides on the Niexia slope. We compared the results from multi-remote sensing technologies, showing that the three techniques have advantages and disadvantages in terms of monitoring objects, monitoring range, and monitoring accuracy. The integrated use of these three technologies can identify and monitor potential landslides more comprehensively, which could play an important role in the future.
