3DPC of a gypsum slope in Finestrat, Alicante (Spain). Two different ground-based LiDARs were used during a 5-year time-span: (a) an Ilris-3D and a Ilris 3D long range were used for the first and the second field surveys, respectively, and (b) a Leica C10 laser scanner was used for the third and fourth field surveys.
