Automated Discontinuity Extraction Software Versus Manual Virtual Discontinuity Mapping: Performance Evaluation in Rock Mass Characterization and Rockfall Hazard Identification

Juan J. Monsalve et al.

Summary: Ground control failures are a major cause of accidents in underground stone mining, with tools like LiDar and photogrammetry being used to generate precise, automated discontinuity maps. However, automated mapping software may identify excessive smaller fractures, affecting the comparison with manually mapped fractures in terms of length and spacing.
