Using the
JointMetriX3D system landslides can be acquired three-dimensionally
also from larger distances (several hundreds of meters
- over one kilometre). Prerequisite is free sight from
two imaging locations to the surface to monitor. Usually,
reference points are applied in the area of interest
before a measurement campaign starts. Th reference points
serve as tie points in order to bring subsequent 3D
images into the same co-ordinate system.
The repeated application of the system allows the determination
and visualisation of eventual displacements, material
transport, volume of transported material, or areas
of decreasing material or its accumulation. The tool
might also support to estimate the deformation mechanism
of a large landslide. |
