摘要

Thorough and systematic slope investigations are essential for preventing landslide disasters. However, current research predominantly relies on single technical approaches, hindering a comprehensive understanding of slope conditions. To address this limitation, this study proposes a novel multi-source data fusion framework that integrates unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) optical imagery, terrestrial laser scanning, airborne light detection and ranging, and thermal infrared imaging for enhanced slope analysis. Initially, artificial embankment and landfill slopes, as well as a natural slope, were reconstructed using multi-source data and various photogrammetric techniques. Subsequently, the multiscale model to model cloud comparison (M3C2) algorithm was employed to assess discrepancies between UAV-derived point clouds and reference models. The results demonstrate that 3D slope models reconstructed from UAV optical imagery achieve centimeter-level accuracy, with close-range photogrammetry approaching millimeter-level precision. The application of the M3C2 algorithm provides a robust and quantitative means of evaluating 3D model accuracy. Additionally, the integration of multi-source data significantly improves the completeness and reliability of slope characterization, providing valuable insights for slope engineering management and disaster prevention.
