Abstract

LiDAR DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data of two different periods, before and after a heavy rain event, were acquired to specify the exact boundary of the mass been moved, and to calculate the variations of ground elevation by using the DEM values for each photometric cellular element. With the modified Sediment Production Rate (SPR) equation, volumes of the mass wasted were as well being estimated. In addition, with the aids of spatial analysis tools of Geographic Information System (GIS), details of the landslide were well enhanced; such that, the magnitude and the peripheral extent of the landslide were characterized.
