Sheet 280—Fossombrone 3D: A study project for a new geological map of Italy in three dimensions

Workflow of Digital Field Mapping and Drone-Aided Survey for the Identification and Characterization of Capable Faults: The Case of a Normal Fault System in the Monte Nerone Area (Northern Apennines, Italy)

“…The geological map with traces of the interpreted fault surfaces was imported into the Move three-dimensional environment. Here, the first 3D geological model was built using the cartographic and new field data (Figure 14a) with well-known procedures [67][68][69]. This model was then improved with the information from the new DTM derived from the drone flight.…”

Geological mapping and fold modeling using Terrestrial Laser Scanning point clouds: application to the Dents-du-Midi limestone massif (Switzerland)

“…Aerial and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (ALS, TLS) are commonly used and constitute efficient remote sensing technologies for geological studies [Zanchi et al, 2009;Buckley et al, 2008Buckley et al, , 2010Jaboyedoff et al, 2012;Abellan et al, 2014]. The potential of LiDAR-derived topographic models has been demonstrated in different geological domains such as: structural characterization [Slob and Hack, 2004;Kemeny et al, 2006;Haneberg, 2007;Jaboyedoff et al, 2007;Sturzenegger and Stead, 2009;Sturzenegger et al, 2011;Gigli and Casagli, 2011;Lato et al, 2012], landslide monitoring [Rosser et al, 2007;Oppikofer et al, 2008;Stock et al, 2012] and 3D folds and layers reconstruction [Zanchi et al, 2009;Jones et al, 2009;De Donatis et al, 2009]. Classification of intensity derived from terrestrial LiDAR point clouds was achieved in several geomorphological contexts [Brodu and Lague, 2012] and rock type characterization was successfully performed [Bellian et al, 2005;Franceschi et al, 2009Franceschi et al, , 2011Burton et al, 2011;Buckley et al, 2008Buckley et al, , 2010Campos Inocencio et al, 2014].…”

“…The atmospheric effect also becomes important with the increase in range, due to air humidity and temperature layering [Gross et al, 2008]. Structural and lithological field data have been used to obtain models of geological layers and folds in 3D [de Kemp, 2000;Husson and Mugnier, 2003;Maxelon and Mancktelow, 2005;de Kemp et al, 2006;Tonini et al, 2009] and several commercial softwares allow building models of geological structures [Wu et al, 2005;Zanchi et al, 2009;de Donatis et al, 2009]. Most of these studies are based on Digital Elevation Models from airborne photogrammetry or ALS and thus often do not perform well in vertical areas.…”
