    In low-resolution remote sensing images under complex lighting conditions, there is a similarity in spectral characteristics between non-landslide areas and landslide bodies, which increases the probability of misjudgment in the identification process of shallow landslide bodies. In order to further improve the accuracy of landslide identification, a shallow landslide remote sensing identification method based on an improved Otsu algorithm and multi-feature threshold is proposed for the temporary treatment project of the Yangjunba disaster site in Leshan City. Using Retinex theory, remote sensing images are enhanced with local linear models and guided filtering; then, multi-feature scales and sliding window calculations of opening and closing transformations identify potential landslide areas, which are finally segmented using the Otsu algorithm. Through experimental verification, the method proposed in this article can clearly segment the target object and background after binary segmentation of remote sensing images. The recognition rate of shallow landslide bodies is not less than 95%, indicating that the method proposed in this article is relatively accurate in identifying shallow landslide bodies in the research area and has good application effects. 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: filtering; then 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: , multi 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: which not only improves 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: , but also 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: es 删除[Filip Gurkalo]: complex backgrounds and distinguish various spectral features between non-landslide areas and landslide bodies, this paper uses multiple feature thresholds to remove invalid or redundant background features, thereby improving the accuracy of image segmentation.
