In-Situ Block Characterization of Jointed Rock Exposures Based on a 3D Point Cloud Model

The importance of in-situ rock block characterization has been realized for decades in rock mechanics and engineering, yet how to reliably measure and characterize the geometrical properties of blocks in varied forms of exposures and patterns of jointing is still a challenging task. Using a point cl...
