Many potential landslides occured in the Baihetan reservoir area before impoundment. After impoundment, these landslides may still slide, affecting the safe operation of the reservoir area (e.g., causing barrier lakes and floods). Identifying the locations of landslides and their distribution pattern has attracted attention in China and globally. In addition, due to the rolling terrain of the reservoir area, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging will affect the interactive synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) deformation results. Only by obtaining effective deformation information can active landslides be accurately identified. Therefore, the banks of the Hulukou Xiangbiling section of the Baihetan reservoir area before impoundment in the Jinsha River Basin were studied in this paper. Using terrain data and the satellite parameters from Sentinel-1A ascending and descending orbits and ALOS PALSAR ascending orbit, the line-of-sight visibility was quantitatively analyzed, and an analysis method was proposed. Based on the SAR data visibility analysis, the small baseline subset (SBAS) technique was used to process the SAR data to acquire effective deformation. InSAR deformation data was combined with Google Earth imagery to identify 25 active landslides. After field verification, 21 active landslides (14 new) were determined. Most of the active landslides are controlled by faults, and the strata of the other landslides are relatively weak. This InSAR analysis method based on SAR data visibility can provide a reference for identifying and analyzing active landslides in other complicated terrain.
