EO-based landslide mapping: from methodological developments to automated web-based information delivery

Four to six study areas with different environmental characteristics will be defined in Austria and South Tyrol, Italy. Various HR and VHR optical EO data sets will be acquired for these areas, including also very recent satellite data such as Sentinel-2. A comprehensive analysis of different optical data for distinct geographical areas is highly innovative and will lead to the development of a robust and reliable landslide mapping system using OBIA.All products of the proposed projects, i.e. maps, routines, and the service, will be thoroughly evaluated: the spatial and thematic accuracy of landslide maps will be quantified; routines will be evaluated by innovative robustness indices; the usability and relevance of the service will be validated by potential users
