TL;DR: In this article, a new method for automatic identification and interpretation of rock mass discontinuities, clustering of discontinuity sets and characterization of the discontinuity orientation, persistence and spacing using 3D point clouds is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution digital outcrop model (DOM) generation method for rock exposures based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry integrated with a structure from motion (SfM) technique was introduced.

TL;DR: In this article, the statistical mechanics of rock masses (SMRM) theory was proposed to analyze the structural properties of rock mass structures and to provide fast and precise solutions for parameter estimations, such as full-direction rock quality designation (RQD), elastic modulus, Coulomb compressive strength, and Poisson ratio and shear strength.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-automatic procedure for the robust extraction of in-situ rock blocks created by the deterministic discontinuity network on rock exposures (PCM-DDN) was developed.

TL;DR: In this paper , a modular backpack laboratory system of rock mechanics provides an effective means to acquire rock mechanical parameters on-site conveniently, and the cloud computing platform established based on SMRM can provide technical support for the rapid calculation of rock mass parameters and instant evaluation of the rock mass quality.
