“…Thus, more stable compensation methods are required to improve the usability of the system. Second, although this study employed a standard method of AR visualization, the application of an advanced data visualization method, such as the dig box, multi-view technique [19], is required to display the underground mine GIS data more effectively and intuitively. Third, the attribute data retrieval option of mine drifts, boreholes, and groundwater levels is necessary to analyze the groundwater rebound problem and maximize the applicability of UMineAR to mining hazard site investigation.…”

Abstract:Conventional mine site investigation has difficulties in fostering location awareness and understanding the subsurface environment; moreover, it produces a large amount of hardcopy data. To overcome these limitations, the UMineAR mobile tablet application was developed. It enables users to rapidly identify underground mine objects (drifts, entrances, boreholes, hazards) and intuitively visualize them in 3D using a mobile augmented reality (AR) technique. To design UMineAR, South Korean georeferenced standard-mine geographic information system (GIS) databases were employed. A web database system was designed to access via a tablet groundwater-level data measured every hour by sensors installed in boreholes. UMineAR consists of search, AR, map, and database modules. The search module provides data retrieval and visualization options/functions. The AR module provides 3D interactive visualization of mine GIS data and camera imagery on the tablet screen. The map module shows the locations of corresponding borehole data on a 2D map. The database module provides mine GIS database management functions. A case study showed that the proposed application is suitable for onsite visualization of high-volume mine GIS data based on geolocations; no specialized equipment or skills are required to understand the underground mine environment. UMineAR can be used to support abandoned-mine hazard site investigations.
