A Semi-automatic Approach to Quantifying the Geological Strength Index Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning
The geological strength index (GSI) plays an important role in the quality evaluation and stability analysis of rock mass. Traditional methods for quantitatively estimating GSI are often subjective, time-consu...
