To prevent disastrous events, their activity needs to be continuously monitored. In this paper, the movement of the Reissenschuh DSGSD in the Schmirn valley (Tyrol, Austria) is quantified based on point clouds acquired with a Riegl VZ\u00ae-6000 long-range laser scanner in 2016 and 2017. Geomorphological features (e.g., block edges, terrain ridges, scarps) travelling on top of the landslide are extracted from the acquired point clouds using morphometric attributes based on locally computed eigenvectors and -values. The corresponding representations of the extracted features in the multi-temporal data are exploited to derive 3D displacement vectors based on a workflow exploiting the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. The subsequent analysis reveals spatial patterns of landslide movement with mean displacements in the order of 0.62 ma      \u2212 1     , corresponding well with measurements at characteristic points using a differential global navigation satellite system (DGNSS). The results are also compared to those derived from a modified version of the well-known image correlation (IMCORR) method using shaded reliefs of the derived digital terrain models. The applied extended ICP algorithm outperforms the raster-based method particularly in areas with predominantly vertical movement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10111688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,26]],"date-time":"2018-10-26T10:51:01Z","timestamp":1540551061000},"page":"1688","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Derivation of Three-Dimensional Displacement Vectors from Multi-Temporal Long-Range Terrestrial Laser Scanning at the Reissenschuh Landslide (Tyrol, Austria)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5352-6047","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Pfeiffer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Innsbruck, Innrain 52f, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2985-5689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Zieher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Innsbruck, Innrain 52f, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}]},{"given":"Magnus","family":"Bremer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Innsbruck, Innrain 52f, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9721-4387","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Volker","family":"Wichmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laserdata GmbH, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6628-4681","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martin","family":"Rutzinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Institute of Geography, University of Innsbruck, Innrain 52f, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1016\/S0013-7952(99)00127-1","article-title":"Using Global Positioning System techniques in landslide monitoring","volume":"55","author":"Gili","year":"2000","journal-title":"Eng.
