Geometric information and discontinuity characterization of rock masses are the key aspects of the analysis of the evolution and failure mechanisms of rockfalls. With the advantageous use of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), the accurate three-dimensional (3D) spatial information of rock slopes can...
