Abstract Structure-from-motion with multi-view stereo (SfM-MVS) methods hold the potential
for monitoring and quantifying cliff erosion to levels of accuracy and precision which rival …

Tourists and hikers visiting glaciers all year round face hazards such as sudden terminus
collapses, typical of such a dynamically evolving environment. In this study, we analyzed the …

Monitoring of geomorphic changes affecting sea cliffs poses a difficult challenge from a
logistical point of view. Nevertheless, this activity is fundamental for the evaluation of cliff …

UAVs are relevant for monitoring cliff faces. In this study, several flights are performed with
various imaging angles (nadir, 20°, 30° and 40° off-nadir) to assess the impact of the …

The analysis of a digital rock cliff model, built by airborne photogrammetric data and infrared
thermal images, is herein presented as an alternative tool for rock mass study in restricted …

The present paper explores the combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
