Selection announcement for the awarding of no. 1 Research Assignments, pursuant to Art. 22-ter of Law no. 240 of 30 December 2010 – 2026_IR_14_GEO–“AI-driven solutions for automated landslide type classification”
The initial step in landslide hazard assessment involves evaluating mapped phenomena and their features.However, crucial attributes, like landslide type, may be missing, hampering somewhat the knowledge aboutthese phenomena. The project aims to develop an AI-based solution to classify landslide types primarily usinggeological and geomorphological dataThe Research Assignment is aimed at developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, mainly CNN and ViT, forthe automatic classification of different types of landslides based on the analysis of geological,geomorphological, and geometric landslide data
