The goal of seeking advanced solutions to the descriptions of particle shape, packing and
tomographic measurement were key areas promoted by Professor Reg Davies. In this paper …

This manuscript addresses the problem of identifying and quantifying bulging and leaning
deformations in masonry retaining walls that are currently assessed with qualitative visual …

The majority of rock engineering instabilities are primarily due to shear slips and failures on
the joint surfaces, and the measurement of joint surface morphology is crucial for shear …

Introduction: The conventional 3-D point cloud-based deformation analysis methods, such
as the shortest distance (SD), cloud-to-cloud (C2C), and multiscale model-to-model cloud …

Accurate, fast, and automatic measurement of 3D size and shape parameters for multiple
