Abstract
Abstract In this paper we propose a monitoring method that allows the inclusion of point clouds into a geodetic monitoring network. Consequently, network adjustment and a rigorous deformation analysis can be performed allowing consistent error propagation and trustful significance calculation. We introduce a supervised pipeline based on ICP-matching of small-scale laser scan patches. It is specially designed for geo-monitoring applications and allows to improve the spatial resolution as well as the network geometry of monitoring networks in inaccessible hazardous areas in the mountains, where the installation of a sufficient number of targets is difficult. We apply our method to two datasets. The first is a monitoring setup in the laboratory, where we establish the parameters for the supervised patch selection and demonstrate how the network geometry is improved. Second is the real case study of Mt. Hochvogel, where the proposed method helps to clearly improve the spatial resolution of deformation vectors.
