Karst environments are characterized by distinctive landforms related to dissolution and a
dominant subsurface drainage. The direct connection between the surface and the …

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) …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

This paper presents an overview of existing methods developed to characterize initial
landslide failure surfaces and compute volumes based on surface information, when it is …

Field investigations of geometric discontinuity properties in rock masses are increasingly
using three-dimensional point cloud data. These point clouds sample the rock mass surface …

Landslide monitoring is a mandatory step in landslide risk assessment. It requires collecting
