Deep learning-based semantic segmentation algorithms have proven effective in landslide detection. For the past decade, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been the prevailing approach for semantic segmentation. Nevertheless, the intrinsic limitations of convolutional operations hinder the acquisition of global contextual information. Recently, Transformers have garnered attention for their exceptional global modeling capabilities. This study proposes a dual-branch semantic aggregation network (DBSANet) by integrating ResNet and a Swin Transformer. A Feature Fusion Module (FFM) is designed to effectively integrate semantic information extracted from the ResNet and Swin Transformer branches. Considering the significant semantic gap between the encoder and decoder, a Spatial Gate Attention Module (SGAM) is used to suppress the noise from the decoder feature maps during decoding and guides the encoder feature maps based on its output, thereby reducing the semantic gap during the fusion of low-level and high-level semantic information. The DBSANet model demonstrated superior performance compared to existing models such as UNet, Deeplabv3+, ResUNet, SwinUNet, TransUNet, TransFuse, and UNetFormer on the Bijie and Luding datasets, achieving IoU values of 77.12% and 75.23%, respectively, with average improvements of 4.91% and 2.96%. This study introduces a novel perspective for landslide detection based on remote sensing images, focusing on how to effectively integrate the strengths of CNNs and Transformers for their application in landslide detection. Furthermore, it offers technical support for the application of hybrid models in landslide detection.
