• Description:
  A methodology for a computerized recognition of joint sets on 3D point cloud models of rock masses using deep learning is presented. The process starts with classifying joints on a 3D rock mass surface through training a deep network architecture and validated using manually labelled datasets. Then, individual joint surfaces are identified using the Density-Based Scan with Noise (DBSCAN) clustering algorithm. Subsequently, the orientations of the identified joint surfaces are computed by fitting least-square planes using the Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC). Finally, the joint planes are classified into different joint sets, and the dip direction and dip angle for each set are calculated. The performance of the proposed methodology has been evaluated using a case study. The results show that the presented procedure is fast, accurate, and robust. [Description provided by NIOSH]
