description | The scarcity of landslide samples poses a critical challenge, impeding the broad application of machine learning techniques in landslide susceptibility assessment (LSA). To address this issue, this study introduces a novel approach leveraging a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN) for data augmentation aimed at enhancing the efficacy of various machine learning methods in LSA, including support vector machines (SVMs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and residual neural networks (ResNets). Experimental results present substantial enhancements across all three models, with accuracy improved by 2.18%, 2.57%, and 5.28%, respectively. In-depth validation based on large landslide image data demonstrates the superiority of the DCGAN-ResNet, achieving a remarkable landslide prediction accuracy of 91.31%. Consequently, the generation of supplementary samples via the DCGAN is an effective strategy for enhancing the performance of machine learning models in LSA, underscoring the promise of this methodology in advancing early landslide warning systems in western Sichuan. |
