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) …

Geological structures such as folds, faults, and discontinuities play a critical role in the
stability and behaviour of both natural and engineered rock slopes. Although engineering …

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 …

This manuscript presents a review on the application of a remote sensing technique
(terrestrial laser scanning, TLS) to a well‐known topic (rock slope characterization and …

This paper reviews the application of close-range terrestrial digital photogrammetry and
terrestrial laser scanning for discontinuity characterization on rock cuts. Terrestrial remote …

Three-dimensional laser scanning (Lidar) techniques have been applied to a range of
industries while their application to the geological environment still requires development …

The complete characterization of rock masses implies the acquisition of information of both,
