Title Landslide inventory mapping using AIRSAR data and optical satellite images in Cameron Highlands area, Malaysia
Type Presentation
Keywords Landslide detection; SAR data; optical satellite images; Malaysia.
Abstract Landslide hazard is more critical for human settlement at hill sites, particularly in tropical countries like Malaysia where heavy precipitation can causes landslides. In the landslide inventory map including all 92 landslide locations was created based on numerous resources such as digital aerial photographs, AIRSAR data, WorldView-1, SPOT 5 satellite images, and field surveys. The results indicated the accuracy of SAR data and optical satellite images using the root mean square error (RMSE) method was 0.163, which indicate acceptable agreement relating to landslide points detected and the current data from landslide areas.
