Applications of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (Tls) in Mining: A Review

Abstract

This study investigates in depth Terrestrial Laser Scanning technology (TLS), its working and measurement principle, 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning softwares and the advantages of this scanning method. This paper also stresses the advantages of adopting this technology in quarries and mines and provides examples of researches that have demonstrated the superiority of TLS systems over the traditional scanning methods in terms of practicability, reliability and accuracy in numerous mining engineering applications such as deformation measurements, rock fall and landslide control, volume calculations and detection of discontinuities.

“…It is also critical to conduct accurate research on newly created technology. Close range remote sensing technologies such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) are creating greater opportunities than ever for architectural surveying [5], forensic [6], restoration [7], archaeological documentation [8], underground mining operations [9], mining and post mining operations [10][11][12], game character modeling, analysis and interpretation [13]. LiDAR technology is now widely employed in geomatic applications due to its speed, practicability, and precision.…”
