Rapid mapping inventories of landslides triggered by heavy rainfall in the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) during May 2023

The dataset contains the spatial explicit inventories of landslides triggered by heavy rainfall in the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy) during May 2023. Hybrid pixel-based and object-based image analysis approach was used to generate the rapid mapping products. The fully automated supervised procedure relies on change detection analysis, based on quantitative variation of vegetation cover in pre-event and post-event remote sensing imagery. Two separate inventories were generated using:
- Copernicus Sentinel-2 MSI satellite imagery
- PlanetScope SuperDove satellite imagery

The dataset is a spatial representation vector polygons representing potential landslides, distributed in GeoPackage format, complemented with confidence measure. It contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data, available at no cost from Copernicus Open Access Hub. Use of PlanetScope images is under license: ©Planet Labs PBC, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
