A modified method of discontinuity trace mapping using three-dimensional point clouds of rock mass surfaces

This paper presents an automated method for discontinuity trace mapping using three-dimensional point clouds of rock mass surfaces. Specifically, the method consists of five steps: (1) detection of trace feature points by normal tensor voting theory, (2) contraction of trace feature points, (3) conn...
