Abstract
Nowadays, landslide phenomenon has become aserious problem in Malaysia. Landslide can cause human injury,loss of life and economical problem. One of the factors is due tothe heavy rain. Hence, to overcome this problem, this studyinvestigates a new method to detect spots of high watersaturation which is integrated with a thermal camera system toprovide early detection of landslide. The thermal camera isselected because it provides accurate predict where landslidegoing to occur. Thermal camera can be used to detect spots ofhigh water saturation which is a key component that contributesto landslide activity. The analysis is done using 10 images. It wastested to see the accuracy of this technique. From theobservation, this technique is quite accurate but still has theirweakness and error.
