This contribution reviews the use of modern 3D photo-based surface reconstruction
techniques for high fidelity surveys of trenches, rock exposures and hand specimens to …

Analogues, especially outcrop analogues, have played a central role in improving
understanding of subsurface reservoir architectures. Analogues provide important …

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 study of outcrop analogues of petroleum reservoirs is well established in the petroleum
industry through the use of digital outcrop models (DOMs). These models, which are also …

Map** lithology and geological structures accurately remains a challenge in difficult
terrain or in active mining areas. We demonstrate that the integration of terrestrial and drone …

Alluvial and fluvial fans are the most widespread depositional landforms bordering the
margins of long-lived highland regions and actively subsiding continental basins, across a …

Recently developed data collection techniques allow for improved characterization of
sedimentary outcrops. Here, we outline a workflow that utilizes unmanned aerial vehicles …

Searching for an efficient and reliable method to reduce manual intervention and subjective
parameter selection during the discontinuity characterization process of rock tunnel faces is …

This paper proposes a novel strategy to characterize the discontinuities of hard rock pillars
in underground mines. In this strategy, the point cloud completion technology is proposed to …

Fluvial deposits are highly heterogeneous and inherently challenging to map in outcrop due
to a combination of lateral and vertical variability along with a lack of continuous exposure …
