Abstract

This study proposes a novel approach for automated detection and analysis of landslide evolution using 3D point cloud data. An automatic tool identifies areas with continuous motion and those with non-continuous motion using a new continuous motion indicator. The methodology enables quantification of deformations by comparing multi-temporal 3D datasets, addressing post-processing challenges in geosciences applications. The approach supports identification of landslide kinematic patterns and temporal evolution, providing valuable insights for landslide monitoring and risk assessment.
