Landslide detection and segmentation are critical for disaster risk assessment and management. However, achieving accurate segmentation remains challenging due to the complex nature of landslide terrains and the limited availability of high-quality labeled datasets. This paper proposes an enhanced U-Net++ model for semantic segmentation of landslides in the Wenchuan region using the CAS Landslide Dataset. The proposed model integrates multi-scale feature extraction and attention mechanisms to enhance segmentation accuracy and robustness. The experimental results demonstrate that ASK-UNet++ outperforms traditional methods, achieving a mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 97.53%, a Dice coefficient of 98.27%, and an overall accuracy of 96.04%. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed approach for improving landslide monitoring and disaster response strategies.
Landslide hazard assessment increasingly demands the joint analysis of heterogeneous remote sensing data; however, automating this process remains difficult due to the pronounced resolution and texture discrepancies existing between satellite and aerial sensors. To address these limitations, this study proposes a robust segmentation framework capable of extracting sensor-robust representations. The framework leverages a DINOv3 transformer encoder and exploits representations from multiple transformer layers to capture complementary visual information, ranging from fine-grained surface textures to global semantic contexts, overcoming the receptive field constraints of conventional CNNs. Experiments on the Longxi satellite dataset achieve a Dice coefficient of 0.96 and an IoU of 0.938, and experiments on the Longxi UAV dataset achieve a Dice coefficient of 0.965 and an IoU of 0.941. These results show consistent segmentation performance on both the Longxi satellite and UAV datasets, despite differences in spatial resolution and surface appearance between acquisition platforms.
Semantic segmentation of very-high-resolution remote sensing imagery benefits from combining RGB appearance with Digital Surface Model (DSM) height information, especially in urban scenes where spectrally similar objects often differ in elevation. On the ISPRS Vaihingen and Potsdam benchmarks, BATFNet achieves mIoU scores of 84.06% and 85.31%, respectively, outperforming representative RGB–DSM fusion baselines on most land-cover categories. BATFNet is a supervised boundary-aware Transformer fusion network that uses DSM-derived edge priors to guide bidirectional cross-modal attention and decoder refinement. With a dual-branch ResNet-50 backbone for modality-specific feature extraction, the proposed framework effectively integrates RGB and DSM information while recovering fine spatial details. These results show that exploiting DSM-derived structural cues improves boundary delineation and reduces confusion among spectrally similar urban classes.
