The use of drone for topographic survey in mining.

Hello to all the members of the Proof of Brain community, today I would like to develop a topic that I like very much which is the use of technology in surveying, I am a civil engineer and surveyor, hence my interest in technological advances for the development of my work, in this case I will tell you a little about the use of drones for the survey of topographic studies in mining, which represent a saving in time and resources.

Mining as an economic activity requires studies that guarantee its profitability and exploitation in an adequate and safe manner. Mining work has evolved from the first ways of doing it where rudimentary search began without any planning, causing great damage and environmental consequences. Nowadays with the support of technologies this economic activity has modified almost all its processes and one of the most important is the topographic survey, this is the starting point because it determines the exact place where to begin the exploitation of the mineral without affecting other areas, hence the importance of its determination.

The technologies in this the use of the Drone allows the topographer to carry out the process of photogrammetry in areas of difficult access determining in a shorter time the working points in the area and even through the photos at depth of the Drone determines the amount of equipment and manpower required as well as the considerations regarding the terrain must be taken into account. The topographic survey with Drone uses a RGB or multispectral camera which is responsible for photographing the ground several times at different points and angles, each of these photos has the corresponding coordinates.

In what refers to photometry is the photographs that are taken by the Drone at the same point on the ground but from different angles, the objective is to generate detailed maps in 2D and 3D. Among the benefits of the use of the Drone are that it reduces the time in the field by the personnel and the expense in the costs of the topographic survey, it provides precise and exhaustive data of areas that in other times were inaccessible for the professionals, it reduces the risk in the projection and execution of the tasks.

Specifically in mining, the use of drones generates volumetric information in an integral way and with millions of measurement points, which provides precision and quality to the established measurement. It reduces the number of people covering the measurement areas, the applications of Pix4Dmapper and Surpac are applicable to the entire mining sector. Open pit mine points are established with accurate borehole data. These are just some of the benefits that are already being experienced in the mining sector with the support of drones and one of the most important is the use of this technology is allowing to reduce the risk and exposure of human beings to the risks of work in the mining sector. Thank you very much for your attention, I hope you liked the information.

I love your publication I think the use of technology especially in these activities where they minimize the risk to which people have been exposed for decades is an impressive advance. Thank you for sharing it is excellent and well written.

that is an interesting use of the drone.
I have seen a documentary in using drone for checking out archeological site. But it seems drone has much more to offer.
