• Abstract: Precision mapping of landslide inventory is crucial for hazard mitigation. Most landslides generally co-exist with other confusing geological features, and the presence of such areas can only be inferred unambiguously at a large scale. In addition, local information is also important for the preservation of object boundaries. Aiming to solve this problem, this paper proposes an effective approach to fuse both local and non-local features to surmount the contextual problem. Built upon the U-Net architecture that is widely adopted in the remote sensing community, we utilize two additional modules. The first one uses dilated convolution and the corresponding atrous spatial pyramid pooling, which enlarged the receptive field without sacrificing spatial resolution or increasing memory usage. The second uses a scale attention mechanism to guide the up-sampling of features from the coarse level by a learned weight map. In implementation, the computational overhead against the original U-Net was only a few convolutional layers. Experimental evaluations revealed that the proposed method outperformed state-of-the-art general-purpose semantic segmentation approaches. Furthermore, ablation studies have shown that the two models afforded extensive enhancements in landslide-recognition performance.

  This paper presents an improved DETR detector that maintains a "plain" nature. It uses a single-scale feature map and global cross-attention calculations without specific locality constraints. We show that two simple technologies are surprisingly effective within a plain design to compensate for the lack of multi-scale feature maps and locality constraints.

A spatial-temporal model is proposed which has two components for capturing spatial and temporal forgery traces in global perspective.
