Description
Abhilash Sreekumar and co-authors build a landslide-spotting tool for a hilly region of India in this 2025 study. The Western Ghats of Kerala have seen deadly slides, with a 2024 event killing hundreds. A full past-slide map is a key base for risk work, yet the state still lacks an automated one.
The team trains deep learning models on before-and-after satellite images of slide sites. The best model marked slide zones with high precision scores. Extra tools then probe why the model flags a zone, showing which image band swayed it most. The authors frame the work as a first step toward a full automated slide map for Kerala.
