“…Having a tool that automatically depicts the current main orientation of the terrace could offer new strategies to compare such information with available geological data in order to better understand the failure mechanisms when present; for example, to rule in or out the geological component. In addition, based on the orientation of the slope faces and using the geo-structural data derived from geomatic and engineering geological surveys, it could be possible to perform further analyses on slope stability (Francioni et al, 2015). Finally, by analysing the geomorphological features of terraces in different orientations, anthropogenic or natural activities that damaged the original terraces, such as landfilling, land-sliding and crumbling, could be easily identified.…”

“…Francioni et al, 2015). Currently, geologists and mining engineers use simplified representations of slope geometry to assess mineral resources, mining reserves, and final pit layouts (Grenon and Laflamme, 2011).…”

Hancock et al, 2008Hancock et al, , 2015Chen et al, 2015;Francioni et al, 2015). Beside these works, Tarolli (2014) gives a very detailed review of the applicability of the methods for the understanding of earth surface processes.…”

“…To overcome these limitations, recent advances in non-contact survey techniques are becoming increasingly used; digital photography for mapping traces [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] and detecting failure [13][14][15], digital photogrammetry, or laser scanner for surveying discontinuity planes [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
