Using photogrammetry to support mineral exploration
CHALLENGE
Minerals are critical to our modern society. They are the raw materials needed to build our world. Finding minerals in the nature is called mineral exploration and requires the knowledge of professional geologists as it is a complex process. Unfortunately, not all discoveries lead to a mineable resource. Indeed, many exploration programs are abandoned because they are not economical. It is then critical to integrate and interpret all the available data in order to be successful.
Drone photogrammetry provides a strong advantage for mineral exploration companies, helping geologists prepare and organise their field campaigns. What if a big picture from the sky of the property to explore was available, prior to sending geologists looking for outcrops and mineral resources? Having a team in the field is expensive, and numerous factors can lead to time losses and thus of money for exploration. Examples include having to cross a river, walking in a swamp area, looking for an old forestry road, bypass a steep slope, etc.
COLLECTION
PROCESSING
Correlator3DTM provides a powerful tool to quickly process imagery directly the field. Indeed, the software is extremely fast, produces high-quality outputs, is simple to use and can be run on a standard laptop. Geospatial data such as digital elevation models and orthomosaics generated in the field saves time and money to the exploration companies, greatly improving their efficiency in the field.
Aircrafts and drones can be used to collect imagery from the sky. Flying the property prior to team deployment allows to precisely map the terrain. Geologists can then easily prepare their journey in the field avoiding getting stuck and losing time to overcome physical obstacles.
INTERPRETATION
A major advantage of integrating photogrammetry in the process of mineral exploration is to help mapping the outcrops. For example, geologists can easily fly a drone and convert the acquired data into geological models to study the outcrop. In fact, having visible bedrock imagery allows some initial geological sampling, analysis and interpretation. Moreover, channel or grab samples being visible from the images provide a strong and accurate way to map and precisely locate the results. Vectorized 2D or 3D features can also be exported to standard GIS tools.
Correlator3DTM also provides tools like 3D change detection or volumetric calculation, often required reports and permits in mineral exploration, such as the amount of excavated material volumes in trenches or overburden thickness.
BENEFITS
Being able to save and optimize time in the field by having geospatial data available gives a strong financial and logistical advantage to mineral exploration companies. Teams can still work and analyse the data once back in the office. The maps also provide a simple way of communicating results of field / drilling campaigns to investors, as well as improving the quality of press releases or reports.
Using photogrammetry to support construction
CHALLENGE
In the construction industry, meeting deadlines and respecting costs is always challenging. For example, these can be due by unforeseen site constraints or a change in the order of tasks followed by an unexpected event. Thus, it can be difficult to respect budgets and schedules, and cost overruns are frequent.
The use of photogrammetry for construction brings major advantages to, who can plan construction sites in advance, even if the access conditions on the ground are difficult, for example on steep slopes or high structures.
It is also possible to monitor the progress of the construction site without having to send technical teams, thus reducing the associated risks.
The construction industry hence benefits from major advantages for planning, monitoring and checking construction sites.
COLLECTION
Airborne data collection can be done at a lower cost using UAVs or fixed wings. Be it by their simplicity of use or their relatively low costs, the use of UAVs has become nowadays within everyone's reach, with a fast and efficient acquisition time.
UAVs generally also offer the possibility to take photographs from various angles, allowing for example to capture all the details of a structure.
PROCESSING
Correlator3D provides a powerful tool to quickly process imagery directly in the field. Indeed, the software is unmatched in terms of processing speed, quality of results, simplicity of design and does not require a high-end workstation. Various deliverables, such as point clouds, digital terrain models and ortho mosaics, can be generated in industry-standard formats and can be easily integrated into any other CAD software often used in the construction industry.
The terrain, construction structures, etc. can thus be quickly modeled for use by the various teams involved.
INTERPRETATION
Once the information is collected and processed via C3D, the models generated can be used to support construction activities, both operationally and logistically. Indeed, accurate digital elevation models allow, in conjunction with architectural firms, to plan construction sites and save significant amounts of money.
Also, the orthomosaics generated give a sky view image of the work area, allowing precise measurements and real-time monitoring of the progress of the work. Last but not least, the information collected and processed makes it possible to communicate the progress of the work to the clients, and to make comparisons over time, at different phases of the project, for example to measure excavated volumes, restore the site to its initial state, etc.
C3D can accurately calculate the volume of excavated material such as sand or rock, fill or excavation material, etc. Allowing to follow the management of material stocks or simply for better project planning in real time.
BENEFITS
The rapid and constant evolution of the construction sector requires companies to remain competitive, both in terms of price and productivity. The use of new technologies such as UAV photogrammetry provide a solid advantage and allow companies to meet the requirements of all their construction projects. Whether in terms of its unparalleled speed, ease of use or the quality of its deliverables, Corerlator3D provides unprecedented support that will benefit the players on tomorrow's construction sites.
