In the last two decades, significant research has been conducted in the field of automated
extraction of rock mass discontinuity characteristics from three-dimensional (3D) models …

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

This paper presents a hybrid ensemble classifier combined synthetic minority oversampling
technique (SMOTE), random search (RS) hyper-parameters optimization algorithm and …

This paper proposes an image-based method for automated rock fracture segmentation and
fracture trace quantification. It is integrated using a CNN-based model named FraSegNet, a …

Rock mass characterization requires a deep geometric understanding of the discontinuity
sets affecting rock exposures. Recent advances in Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) …

This manuscript presents a review on the application of a remote sensing technique
(terrestrial laser scanning, TLS) to a well‐known topic (rock slope characterization and …

The routine application of remote surveying techniques which can quickly acquire 3D digital
data with high resolution, in particular digital photogrammetry, light detection and ranging …

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 …

Identifying rock mass discontinuities and their plane orientation are crucial factors when
determining rock mass characteristics. Rock mass discontinuity map** is fundamentally …

This work develops a rock mass characterization of a limestone quarry in northern Spain
