Semiautomated object-based classification of rain-induced landslides with VHR multispectral images on Madeira Island

A method for semiautomated landslide detection and mapping, with the ability to separate source and run-out areas, is presented in this paper. It combines object-based image analysis and a support vector machine classifier and is tested using a GeoEye-1 multispectral image, sensed 3 days after a maj...
