Rapid detection of damages occurring as a result of natural disasters is vital for emergency response. In recent years, remote sensing techniques have been commonly used for the automatic categorization and localization of such events using satellite images. Trained based on natural disaster images, a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been applied as a highly successful method, with its ability to reveal outstanding features. Studies aiming to detect target points obtained as a result of extracting visual features from natural images within these networks have achieved their goals. In this study, ensemble learning methods have been suggested as a means to develop the detection of landslide areas from landslide satellite images. Landslide image dataset has been trained for their categorization in CNN models and then they have been used again to localize landslide regions. While model predictions develop overall performance and status, different ensemble strategies have been used and integrated to reduce the sensitivity to prediction variance and training data. Class-selective relevance mapping (CRM) has been used to visualize individual CNN models and ensemble learned behaviors. As a result of the comparisons made based on mean average precision metrics and the criteria of intersection over union, model ensembles have proved to show higher localization performance than any other individual model.
