Aiming at the problems of insufficient samples for landslide compilation, difficulty in expanding landslide samples, and insufficient expression of nonlinear relationships among evaluation factors, this paper proposes a new evaluation method of landslide susceptibility combining deep autoencoder and multi-scale residual network (DAE-MRCNN). In the first step, a deep autoencoder network was used to learn the feature expression of the original landslide data in order to acquire effective features in the data. Next, a multi-scale residual network was constructed; specifically, the model was improved into a deep residual network model by adding skip connections in the convolutional layer. In addition, the multi-scale idea was utilized to fully extract the scale characteristics of the evaluation factors. Finally, the model was used for feature training, and the results were input into the Softmax classifier to complete the prediction of landslide susceptibility. For this purpose, a machine learning method and two state-of-the-art deep learning methods, namely SVM, CPCNN-ML, and 2D-CNN, were utilized to model landslide susceptibility in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. The proposed method produced the highest model performance of 0.891, followed by 0.842, 0.869, and 0.873. The experimental results show that the DAE-MRCNN method can fully express the complex nonlinear relationships among the evaluation factors, alleviate the problem of insufficient samples in convolutional neural networks (CNN) training, and significantly improve the accuracy of susceptibility prediction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15030653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]],"date-time":"2023-01-23T04:19:22Z","timestamp":1674447562000},"page":"653","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A Combination of Deep Autoencoder and Multi-Scale Residual Network for Landslide Susceptibility Evaluation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Zhuolu","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mapping and Geographical Science, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9275-3250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shenghua","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, Beijing 100830, China"}]},{"given":"Jiping","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, Beijing 100830, China"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, Beijing 100830, China"}]},{"given":"Xinrui","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mapping and Geographical Science, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Resources and Environmental Sciences, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}]},{"given":"Xuan","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mapping and Geographical Science, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]},{"given":"Zeya","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mapping and Geographical Science, Liaoning Technical University, Fuxin 123000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104994","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envsoft.2021.104994","article-title":"A rapid 3D reproduction system of dam-break floods constrained by post-disaster information","volume":"139","author":"Li","year":"2021","journal-title":"Environ.
