Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of Pleiades images for the detection and the mapping of rainfall-induced shallow landslides in an area located in the Northern Apennines of Italy. The high resolution of the used images allowed to efficiently recognize also the landslides with small size and to quickly create an inventory map of these phenomena. Field investigations carried up for checking the real presence of the mapped landslides showed a good agreement with the detected through Pleiades images landslides, also in terms of appearance and size of these phenomena. For these reasons Pleiades images can be an useful device for identifying landslides events and to create a complete database of susceptible areas.
