Abstract

En 中文
Accurate estimation of landslide depth is essential for practical hazard assessment and risk mitigation. This work addresses the problem of determining landslide depth from satellite-derived elevation data. Using the principle of mass conservation, this problem can be formulated as a linear inverse problem. To solve the inverse problem, we present a regularization approach that computes approximate solutions and regularization parameters using the Balancing Principle. Synthetic data were carefully designed and generated to evaluate the method under controlled conditions, allowing for precise validation of its performance. Through comprehensive testing with this synthetic dataset, we demonstrate the method's robustness across varying noise levels. When applied to real-world data from the Fels landslide in Alaska, the proposed method proved its practical value in reconstructing landslide thickness patterns. These reconstructions showed good agreement with existing geological interpretations, validating the method's effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
