For more than 10 years, digital elevation models (DEM) produced by light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology have provided new tools for geomorphologic studies and especially for landslide studies. In particular, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides a great versatility of use. TLS can be used either for monitoring purposes or in an emergency situation that necessitates a rapid DEM acquisition for assessing a hazard. Using three examples we demonstrate the usefulness of TLS for landslide volume quantification, profile creation, and time series analysis. These case studies are landslides located in sensitive clays of eastern Canada (Quebec, Canada) or small rotational slides in river banks (Switzerland).

In this editorial, we provide an overview of the content of the special issue on “Terrestrial Laser Scanning”. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together innovative developments and applications of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS), understood in a broad sense. Thus, although most contributions mainly involve the use of laser-based systems, other alternative technologies that also allow for obtaining 3D point clouds for the measurement and the 3D characterization of terrestrial targets, such as photogrammetry, are also considered. The 15 published contributions are mainly focused on the applications of TLS to the following three topics: TLS performance and point cloud processing, applications to civil engineering, and applications to plant characterization.

Motivated by the increasing need of rapid characterization of environments in 3D, we designed and built a sensor skid that automates the work of an operator of terrestrial laser scanners. The system combines terrestrial laser scanning with kinematic laser scanning and uses a novel semi-rigid SLAMmethod. It enables us to digitize factory environments without the need to stop production. The acquired 3D point clouds are precise and suitable to detect objects that collide with items moved along the production line.
