Landslides are geological disasters that are harmful to both humans and society. Digital elevation model (DEM) time series data are usually used to monitor dynamic changes or surface damage. To solve the problem of landslide deformation monitoring without ground control points (GCPs), a multidimensional feature-based coregistration method (MFBR) was studied to achieve accurate registration of multitemporal DEMs without GCPs and obtain landslide deformation information. The method first derives the elevation information of the DEM into image pixel information, and the feature points are extracted on the basis of the image. The initial plane position registration of the DEM is implemented. Therefore, the expected maximum algorithm is applied to calculate the stable regions that have not changed between multitemporal DEMs and to perform accurate registrations. Finally, the shape variables are calculated by constructing a DEM differential model. The method was evaluated using simulated data and data from two real landslide cases, and the experimental results revealed that the registration accuracies of the three datasets were 0.963 m, 0.368 m, and 2.459 m, which are 92%, 50%, and 24% better than the 12.189 m, 0.745 m, and 3.258 m accuracies of the iterative closest-point algorithm, respectively. Compared with the GCP-based method, the MFBR method can achieve 70% deformation acquisition capability, which indicates that the MFBR method has better applicability in the field of landslide monitoring. This study provides an idea for landslide deformation monitoring without GCPs and is helpful for further understanding the state and behavior of landslides.
