POTENTIAL AND LIMITATIONS OF TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING FOR DISCONTINUITY ROUGHNESS ESTIMATION

Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) greatly facilitates the acquisition of detailed and accurate 3D measurements of remote rock outcrops, at an operational range from several meters to a few kilometres. Reliable, quantitative measures of rock discontinuity roughness are necessary to characterize and ev...
