42nd Annual Conference

Using Photogrammetry Data from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) for Blast Design (Room Concorde A)

01 Feb 16
11:00 AM - 11:30 AM

Tracks: Photogrammetry

Aerial photographic data, obtained from drones or UAV aircraft and converted to mine-specific coordinates, can be used to generate front row blasthole coordinates, generate face profiles, measure cast blast performance, measure stockpile volumes, and therefore assist the blaster and/or engineer with overall blast design/performance.
