Landslides
A landslide is an catastrophic event where a block of earthen mass slides downhill. Cause significant loss of life and billions of dollars each year.
Landslides Prediction
Although a basic understanding of the landslides is available, system that predict the occurrence of a landslide do NOT exist. Why?
The lack of field measurements over large temporal and spatial scales.
Landslides Prediction
The development of a landslide is a temporal process
takes as long as a year to develop Movement speed, several cm per month
This paper propose a WSN to detect the early signals preceding a landslide.
System Architecture
Sensor Column
Geophone Strain Gauge Pore Pressure Transducer
System Architecture
Deployment
A network of sensor columns Placed in vertical holes drilled over the hill surface
Solution Outline
Geophones estimate displacement dij(t) Based on distance matrix D=[dij(t)]
Detection
Determine whether slip surface has formed
Classification
Estimate subset of sensors that moved
Localization
Compute location of slip surface
Example
Detection & Classification & Localization
Detection
Use strain gauges on each sensor column
Can measure changes in their length due to deformation
10
Classification
Determine which sensors are above and below the slip surface Basic principles: Distance between two nodes
Below the slip surface should not change Across the slip surface is likely to change Above the slip surface would see a small change The nodes located closest to the known rigid part are unlikely to move. (anchor nodes)

Classification
Voting Algorithm
Note state: {0, 1, U} Initially: anchors=0, rest=U Repeat until all nodes classified
Update node is state based on votes from neighbors j
If j in U, no vote If dij=0, vote is equal to js state If dij0, vote is equal to complement of js state
12
Localization
Localize moved nodes using trilateration Slip surface estimation
13
Evaluation
Evaluation metrics
Average and std. dev of localization error Max. distance between actual and estimated slip plane
