Slope Collapse Detection Based On Image Processing

In this paper, we study a task of slope collapse detection (SCD) for river embankment and formulate it as the tasks of motion detection and image recognition. Specifically, we introduce an SCD method based on motion detection and image recognition technologies to help inspector attendants detect the slope collapse. In this method, we use the foreground motion detection algorithm to identify the slope collapse of the scene of the river embankment. Since the moving targets in the foreground may not only be the slope collapse but also maybe some biology, we further use the image feature extraction and image recognition technology to recognize the foreground motion area, thus eliminating the influence of the biology on the detection results. Experimental results on the relevant scene data show that the proposed method can identify the slope collapse in real-time, and can effectively eliminate the motion interference of the biology, which has a high practical value.
