Landslides can cause severe damage to infrastructure and human life, making early detection and warning systems critical for mitigating their impact. In this study, we propose a machine learning approach for landslide detection using remote sensing data and topographical features. We evaluate the performance of several machine learning algorithms, including Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, AdaBoost, Neural Network, SGD, kNN, and SVM, on a dataset of remote sensing images and topographical features from the Sikkim region in Malaysia. The results show that the SVM algorithm outperforms the other algorithms with an accuracy of 96.7% and a F1 score of 0.97. The study demonstrates the potential of machine learning algorithms for landslide detection, which can help improve early warning systems and reduce the impact of landslides.
