Method for Measuring and Detecting Fracture Plane Orientations in the Condroz Sandstone with 3D Terrestrial LIDAR Data

Several methods are used to measure fracture plane orientation. For these measurements manual, photogrammetric and laser scanning methods are in use. The latter method is used in this thesis to survey the geometry of an outcrop of the Devonian Condroz Sandstone Group in southern Belgium.The aim of this thesis is to develop a method with which...
