4 Landslide-Related WPS

The IRPI CNR institute provides some experimental landslide-related WPS processes (tools) dealing with landslide size probability distribution, bedding attitude estimation, morpho-structural domain definition, slope-units delineation.

In the following, a quick description of the aims of the four processes is given.

5 Landslide Size Probability Distribution

Given a landslide inventory map, this WPS service calculates an estimate of the probability density and the frequency density of landslide areas (Rossi et al. 2012).

The tool implements parametric and non-parametric statistical approaches, including Histogram Density Estimation (HDE), Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Such information can be used, as an example, to evaluate the inventory completeness and/or to estimate landslide hazard (Guzzetti et al. 2005).

The process returns a PDF document containing the parameters of the statistical distributions of landslide size and charts. In Fig. 6 we show an example of one of the charts produced by the WPS.
