Abstract
Implementation of terrestrial laser scanning creates new opportunities in the analysis of processes occurring in the environment. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables fast, precise mapping of l...
Highlights
The term erosion means the processes of destruction of the top layer of the ground by forces of nature, such as wind, water and gravity or by anthropogenic factors
The main aim of the paper was to determine the conditions for the using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in research of the qualitative and quantitative assessment of erosion processes, measurement intensity and range of erosion and monitoring of these phenomena
Data prepared in such a way were imported into Surfer10, where the interpolations of the point cloud and the basic analyses were done
Summary
The term erosion means the processes of destruction of the top layer of the ground by forces of nature, such as wind, water and gravity or by anthropogenic factors. The processes of the degrading effects include mainly the transformation of the soil and terrain and a change of water relations. Erosion can be observed and evaluated by the movements of particles and masses of soil, caused by water and wind, as well as by mass movement understood as movement of large volumes of soil materials (Prochal, 1987). Analysis of water erosion processes requires knowledge of the intensity of the process under evaluation, the volume of transported material, and the location of erosion. In the case of spatial phenomena, such as surface erosion and mass movements such as soil creep, it is justified to determine where the erosion processes have occurred
