Abstract

Abstract : Earthquake, flood, human activity, and rainfall are some of the trigger factors leading to landslides. Landslide monitoring data analysis indicates the deformation characteristics of landslides and helps to reduce the threat of landslide disasters. There are monitoring methods that enable efficient acquisition of real-time data to facilitate comprehensive research on landslides. However, it is challenging to analyze large amounts of monitoring data with problems like missing data and outlier data during data collection and transfer. These problems also hinder practical analysis and determination concerning the uncertain monitoring data. This work analyzes and processes the deformation characteristics of a rainfall-induced rotational landslide based on exploratory data analysis techniques. First, we found that the moving average denoising method is better than the polynomial fitting method for the repair and fitting of monitoring data. Besides, the exploratory data analysis of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring data reveals that the distribution of GNSS monitoring points has a positive correlation with the deformational characteristics of a rotational landslide. Our findings in the subsequent case study indicate that rainfalls are the primary trigger of the Zhutoushan landslide, Jiangsu Province, China. Therefore, this method provides support for the analysis of rotational landslides and more useful landslide monitoring information.
