Abstract

Extraction of landslides from a pair of Lidar data taken before and after the 2016 Kumamoto, Japan, earthquake was carried out. The spatial correlation coefficient of the two Lidar data was calculated, and the horizontal shift of the April-23 DSM with the maximum correlation coefficient was considered as the crustal movement by the April-16 main-shock. By taking the difference of the co-registered DSMs, the change of the surface elevation was calculated. This elevation change includes many effects due to the earthquake, such as landslides and building collapses, and the other temporal changes, such as parking cars and construction/rescue activities. Thus in this study, only large-scale elevation changes more than plus and minus 2.0 m and the areas of larger than 200 square meters were extracted as possible landslides. The extracted areas were compared with aerial photos taken after the Kumamoto earthquake and other soil movement maps made for this event. The result shows that large-scale landslides were easily extracted by the difference of the DSMs and even ground deformations along surface ruptures, where trees were torn down, could be identified.
