Advanced Sensor Technologies for Mining, Construction and Geotechnical Investigations

Description

In the past decade great advancements have been made concerning remote sensing technologies and their applications in the applied geosciences. As examples: (1) traditional photogrammetry has been greatly enhanced by incorporating computer vision and structure-from-motion solutions; (2) terrestrial based interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) surveys for displacement monitoring now provide continuous measurements with accuracies the order of 0.1 mm; and (3) drone-based platforms have significantly enhanced capabilities for performing remote measurements in otherwise inaccessible terrain. These and other modern sensor technologies have significant potential for optimizing processes in mining engineering, heavy construction and geotechnical investigations.

The workshop concentrates on sensor characteristics, planning of investigations, analysis of results and illustrative case histories. The workshop includes theoretical aspects (covered in the computer laboratory) and applied aspects (field excursions to active mining projects in Thailand).
