Abstract

Rock discontinuities are the basic component of the rock mass. Accurate investigation and collection of the spatial geometric information of rock discontinuities is an important basic work for rock mass stability analysis and evaluation. The three-dimensional laser scanning (3D-LS) technology has revolutionized the investigation manner of rock discontinuities, and has been used more and more widely in geological engineering investigation, especially the geological disaster emergency rescue project. Develop new 3D-LS methods with high accuracy and efficiency to identify rock discontinuities in an automatic or semi-automatic manner is a considerable challenge, as an alternative to the use of traditional manual methods. This work presents an optimal 3D-LS method that aims to achieve rapid registration and orientation of multi-site cloud and automatic/semi-automatic identify rock discontinuities. The method proposed herein starts multi-site cloud scanning based on RTK auxiliary orientation, and multi-site cloud scanning based on RTK auxiliary orientation. The development degree of rock discontinuities was then being estimated, and then proper method to extract the spatial orientation was determined: man-machine interactive extraction of orientations for the under-developed discontinuities or automatic extraction of multi-discontinuities using Discontinuity Set Extractor for the well-developed discontinuities. Through the single discontinuity scanning and orientation extraction tests and multi-discontinuities scanning and automatic orientation extraction tests of a rock specimen, the accuracy and efficiency of the methods proposed in this paper has been verified, and has high application promotion value. Besides that, a complete sensitivity analysis of the parameters has been performed for the automatic extraction of multi-discontinuities using Discontinuity Set Extractor, and the proper range of the parameters has been recommended.
