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 …

Laser ranging is extremely accurate and efficient. Terrestrial scanning lidar (light detection
and ranging) applied to outcrop stratigraphic mapping enables researchers to capture laser …

Discontinuity extraction and interpretation of fractured masses is of high importance when
analyzing rock slope stability. Regarding high-steep slopes, which are areas that are difficult …

The use of a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) and digital photogrammetry is valuable
for the detection of discontinuities in areas where field mapping and terrestrial …

Advances in data capture and computer technology have made possible the collection of
three-dimensional, high-resolution, digital geological data from outcrop analogs. This paper …

Photogrammetry is becoming a highly efficient alternative technique to laser-scanning for
creating virtual outcrop models. It is easy to create a 3-dimensional digital model of an …

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 …

Multi-scale geological models contain three-dimensional, spatially referenced data, typically
spanning at least six orders of magnitude from outcrop to regional scale. A large number of …

The proliferation of three‐dimensional (3D) seismic technology is one of the most exciting
developments in the Earth Sciences over the past century. 3D reflection seismic data …
