Shilpi Chakraborty, Ratika Pradhan . Development of GIS based Landslide Information System for the Region of East Sikkim. International Journal of Computer Applications. 49, 7 ( July 2012), 5-9. DOI=10.5120/7637-0720
The use of remote sensing data, such as satellite imageries and aerial photos, allows us to map the variability of terrain properties, such as vegetation, water, geology, both in space and time. This paper suggests an integration of the classification of the landslides for the region of East Sikkim and the images are displayed through a web portal. The classification is done using k-means and k nearest neighbor classifier and the better one is selected to classify the landslides and then uploaded on a web portal.
