Abstract
This study investigates in depth Terrestrial Laser Scanning technology (TLS), its working and measurement principle, 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning softwares and the advantages of this scanning method. This paper also stresses the advantages of adopting this technology in quarries and mines and provides examples of researches that have demonstrated the superiority of TLS systems over the traditional scanning methods in terms of practicability, reliability and accuracy in numerous mining engineering applications such as deformation measurements, rock fall and landslide control, volume calculations and detection of discontinuities.
