China has a significant portion of land in landslide-prone areas, and remote sensing
technologies are becoming a tool of choice to investigate and monitor landslides. Although …

This paper presents a short history of the appraisal of laser scanner technologies in
geosciences used for imaging relief by high-resolution digital elevation models (HRDEMs) …

Rockfall is an extremely rapid process involving long travel distances. Due to these features,
when an event occurs, the ability to take evasive action is practically zero and, thus, the risk …

The application of advanced remote sensing technologies, including terrestrial laser
scanning (TLS), to the Earth sciences has increased rapidly in the last two decades …

This paper reviews the application of close-range terrestrial digital photogrammetry and
terrestrial laser scanning for discontinuity characterization on rock cuts. Terrestrial remote …

In this paper a Matlab tool called DiAna (Discontinuity Analysis), for the 2D and 3D geo-
structural analysis of rock mass discontinuities on high resolution laser scanning data is …

Three-dimensional laser scanning (Lidar) techniques have been applied to a range of
industries while their application to the geological environment still requires development …

Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides high-resolution point clouds of the topography and
new TLS instruments with ranges exceeding 300 m or even 1000 m are powerful tools for …

This paper describes experience gained in the application of terrestrial digital
photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning for the characterization of the structure of high …

Terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) can be used for the delineation and
evaluation of geomechanically controlled hazards. The United States Geological Survey [1] …
