Major advances in smartphones and tablets in terms of their built-in sensors (esp. cameras),
available computational power and on-board memory are transforming the role of such …

The use of lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) systems for modelling petroleum reservoir
analogues has become increasingly popular over the past few years, and there has been a …

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

Remote sensing techniques (eg, terrestrial laser scanning and digital photogrammetry) have
been developed and applied rapidly in recent years for identification and analysis of rock …

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 …

Abstract Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Structure from Motion (SfM) provide large
amounts of digital data from which virtual outcrops can be created. The accuracy of these …

The advent of large digital datasets from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite
platforms now challenges our ability to extract information across multiple scales in a timely …

The complete characterization of rock masses implies the acquisition of information of both,
the materials which compose the rock mass and the discontinuities which divide the outcrop …

This paper presents a new method for extracting discontinuity orientation automatically from
rock mass surface 3D point cloud. The proposed method consists of four steps:(1) automatic …

Brittle and ductile deformation of alternating layers of Devonian sandstone and mudstone at
Cape Liptrap, Victoria, Australia, resulted in upright folds with associated fold …
