Geotechnical data collection supported by computer vision

Abstract

A computer vision approach is used to improve current geotechnical data collection for rock
mechanics. High resolution digital images, photogrammetric principles, and image processing techniques allow an indirect three-dimensional observation of rock mass exposures. This allows to measure geometrical properties of the rock mass without working in hazardous environments, without restrictions in time. and without the need for manual access. This system gives a new tool into the hand of the geotechnical engineer supplementing his current field work.
