Improving Landslide Detection on SAR Data Through Deep Learning

In this letter, we use deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to compare the landslide mapping and classification performances of optical images (from Sentinel-2) and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images (from Sentinel-1). The training, validation, and test zones used to independently e...
