Paper Number: ARMA-11-367
... ABSTRACT The importance of the collection and analysis of data on discontinuities cannot be overemphasized. Problems which include sampling difficulties, risks, limited access to rock faces and exposures, and the delay in data collection has led to a high need for data collection tools...

... the rock face features can be very subtle. A case study was conducted in an underground mine where good correlation was found between joint set orientation measurements acquired manually and with a triangulationbased laser camera. This correlation validates the triangulation-based laser imaging technology...

Paper Number: ARMA-06-1079
... ABSTRACT: Remote sensing technologies are increasingly applied in the geological and geotechnical engineering. Especially the 3D imaging technology provides important information about the geometry of rock faces and the structure of the rock mass. 3D images provide a dense grid of measurement...

ABSTRACT: A complete algorithm for starting with a digital image of a rock face, automatically delineating traces, and extracting three dimensional joint or fracture orientation data is described. Less emphasis is placed on the pre-processing of the image, as different images require different...

All of the 21 rock bolts in the panels that fell were separated either at the backface of the wall, in the extension from the wall to the rock face or at the rock face. None of the rock bolts had been pulled out of the bond length...
