Landslides are widespread geohazards in mountainous regions and pose serious threats to human safety, infrastructure, and ecosystems. Accurate detection from high-resolution optical remote sensing imagery remains challenging because landslide targets often exhibit irregular morphology, large scale variation, weak boundaries, and strong background interference. To address these issues, this study proposes L-SAINet, a shape-adaptive and inner-scale interaction network for landslide detection in complex remote sensing scenarios. Built on a lightweight one-stage detection framework, the proposed method introduces an L-SAI module that integrates adaptive deformable convolution, channel–spatial attention, and inner-scale feature interaction. The shape-adaptive branch improves geometric alignment for irregular and elongated landslide bodies, while the attention branch enhances semantic discrimination under heterogeneous background conditions. The two branches are further fused at the same feature scale to construct a more unified landslide representation. Experiments on the Bijie Landslide Remote Sensing Dataset show that L-SAINet consistently outperforms the baseline detector and single-branch variants in Precision, Recall, mAP@0.5, and mAP@0.5:0.95. Additional analyses based on precision–recall curves, confusion matrices, convergence behavior, model complexity, and representative complex-scene examples further confirm its effectiveness and robustness. The results demonstrate that jointly modeling geometric adaptability and semantic refinement is an effective strategy for landslide detection in complex mountain environments.
