| ARIMA | 1.82 | 1.39 | 0.78 |
| SVR | 1.74 | 1.21 | 0.81 |
| LSTM | 1.33 | 1.02 | 0.87 |
| CNN-LSTM | 1.01 | 0.74 | 0.92 |
Yahuokou Landslide: Real-world Impact & Mitigation
The Yahuokou landslide in Xiazhuang Village, Zhouqu County, Gansu Province, highlights the critical need for advanced monitoring and prediction systems. Initiating slow sliding on July 16, 2019, the landslide body near the Lianghekou section of the Minjiang River progressed significantly, posing immense risks to local roads and the G75 Expressway. This study leveraged D-InSAR and CNN-LSTM to provide vital deformation data and enhance road safety.
Yahuokou Landslide Monitoring & Prediction
On July 19, 2019, a major landslide occurred near Xiazhuang Village, Dongshan Township, Zhouqu County, Gansu Province, severely impacting local roads and posing risks to the G75 Expressway. The landslide, estimated at 4 million cubic meters, moved 20 meters by July 20. Field investigations confirmed significant deformation, validating D-InSAR and CNN-LSTM monitoring results. The proposed model provided an early warning 26 hours in advance, demonstrating its effectiveness in disaster mitigation and protecting lives and property. This case underscores the importance of integrating satellite-based monitoring with intelligent predictive algorithms for infrastructure resilience.
CNN-LSTM Model Superiority
The Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) model combines the strengths of CNNs in feature extraction with LSTMs in capturing temporal dependencies. This synergistic approach enables the model to effectively process D-InSAR time series data and achieve exceptional prediction accuracy for ground deformation.
The CNN-LSTM model's R² value of 0.92 signifies that 92% of the variance in ground deformation can be predicted by the model, demonstrating its robust capability in capturing complex patterns and providing reliable forecasts. This level of accuracy is crucial for effective early warning systems and proactive infrastructure management.
