Short summary
A method for semi-automatic landslide detection and mapping is presented and tested using a very high-resolution satellite image, sensed 3 days after a major damaging landslide event that occurred in Madeira Island (20 February 2010). The testing is developed in a 15 km2 wide area, where 95 % of the number of landslides scars is detected by this approach.
