SIA-Net: A Scale-View Interactive Attention Network for Landslide Extraction from High-Resolution Optical Remote Sensing Images

Timely and reliable mapping of landslide-affected areas from high-spatial-resolution optical imagery is essential for disaster investigation and post-event assessment. However, this task remains challenging because landslides usually exhibit large-scale variations, irregular boundaries, and strong spectral–textural similarities with surrounding bare-surface objects, which often cause missed detections, false positives, incomplete delineation, and inaccurate boundary localization. To address these problems, this paper presents a Scale-View Interactive Attention Network, named SIA-Net, for RGB-based landslide segmentation. First, a Multi-Scale Attention Module (MSAM) is constructed to encourage information exchange among features with different spatial resolutions. By doing so, the network can better represent both small scattered landslide patches and large continuous landslide bodies. Second, a Multi-View Attention Module (MVAM) is introduced to aggregate contextual cues from multiple receptive field views. This design strengthens the model’s ability to distinguish landslides from visually confusing objects, including bare soil, roads, riverbanks, and terrain shadows. In addition, a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is incorporated during feature reconstruction to enhance landslide-related channel and spatial responses, thereby improving segmentation completeness and boundary localization. Experiments on the CAS Landslide Dataset (CLD) and GVLM Dataset show that SIA-Net provides more accurate landslide masks than the compared segmentation networks under the adopted benchmark settings. These results indicate that integrating scale-level interaction, view-level contextual modeling, and attention-guided decoding can effectively improve landslide extraction in complex optical remote sensing scenes.
