Rock slope stability analysis based on terrestrial LiDAR on Karst Hills in Kinta Valley Geopark, Perak, Peninsular Malaysia

The use of modern mapping technology is necessary in assessing slopes and cliffs, especially in tropical countries as it is mostly inaccessible and covered with thick vegetation which restricts the conventional data collection to only at the base of the cliff. Overhanging and sub-vertical characteri...
