| description | Despite the well-reported havoc caused by debris flows in Malaysia especially
mountain and foothill communities, it received little attention from researchers. It has
therefore, become imperative to explore the nature of the disaster in the tropical Malaysia. The
general objective of the study was the development of optimized hybrid debris flow models
using airborne laser scanning data and Machine learning algorithms in Malaysia. The specific
objectives are to identify the optimized geomorphological, topographic parameters derived from
LiDAR data source for the tropical area; map the debris flow susceptible areas using the
LiDAR data; and develop a hybrid RAMMS (Rapids Mass Movements) debris flow model for tropical
countries. The quality of spatial data required and approaches adopted in acquiring the data is
directly related to the level of analyses accuracy involve and pixel size. A high-resolution
vertical accuracy (15 cm) airborne laser scanning data (LiDAR) discrete-return, echoes, and
intensity was used to generate DEM; invariably used to derive the debris flow conditioning factors
for the spatial prediction and modelling of debris flow. The topographic and geomorphological
conditioning factors includes slope angle, slope aspect, total curvature, plane curvature, profile
curvature, relative stream power index, topographic wetness index, stream catchment area,
topographic roughness index, and topographic position index). Other determinants were velocity and
rheological parameters data that is influencing debris flows run-out. In this study, an existing
inventory data that depicts a number of debris flow locations was utilize for binary features
selection with high-resolution airborne laser scanning data. The features were categorized into
two “debris flows present” (1) and “debris flow absent” (0). Six hundred randomly
selected sample points for each category was generated gives 640 sample points. The sample data
of the area was randomly divided into a training dataset: 70 % (448) for training the
models and 30% (192) for validation. Spearman Correlation was used to checked
multi-collinearity effect on debris flow conditioning factors; evaluations factors of
Information Value (IV), Crammer V were assessed.Wrapper feature subset selection technique
was used, different metaheuristic search algorithms (e.g. Cuckoo search), and evaluator or
model inducing algorithms (e.g SVM) were utilized for feature subset selection, which
further compared to select the optimal conditioning factors subset. At the initial
stage, heuristic optimisation techniques were employed in identifying the global best
latent SVM and MARS hyperparameter values selection used for debris flow prediction modelling. A
susceptibility debris map is the combination of debris flow source area and run out model, this is
achieved by emergent of revolutionary advancement in MLA, two optimized-data mining techniques
(BFO-SVM and PSO- MARS) were amalgamated. The resultant susceptibility mapping and models
strength were subjected to statistical accuracy evaluation metrics using Receiver
Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and Area Under Curve (AUC), Mean Asolute Error (MAE), Root
Mean Square Error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R²) and Generalized Cross Validation (GCV)
methods. To simulate debris flow run-out pattern, a friction resistance model (Voellmy model)
RAMMS-dbf was modified by fusing erosion model; this improve the model results in reality. The
model is capable of ameliorating decision-making process in planning and environmental risk- hazard
mitigation and management. Results have shown that integrated Cuckoo search and induced SVM
learning algorithm produced the best-selected feature subset with 99% coefficient of
determination, lowest RMSE and MAE of 0.081 and 0.0132
respectively. |
