Study of a set of factors influencing the error of surveying mine facilities using a geodesic quadcopter

Abstract

The factors influencing the qualitative and quantitative components of the result of surveying in open-pit mining using a quadcopter were identified and systematized, and the mathematical dependence of the influence of factors on the final error of surveying was determined. After a large number of field observations – numerous flights of a geodesic quadcopter over mining facilities – the subsequent mathematical justification of the results of the aerial photogrammetric surveying was made, which allowed to analyze the degree of participation in the final accuracy of the survey of each of the considered factors. The results of this study demonstrate the source of errors, which provide the surveyor with the opportunity to efficiently and competently carry out pre-flight preparation and planning of fieldwork. The study and subsequent consideration of the factors affecting the accuracy of surveying with the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle are the basis for the subsequent development and formation of a methodology for using a geodesic quadcopter in the conditions of open-pit mining.

Integration of GNSS Technology and Geometric Levelling for Accurate Height Determination in Uneven Terrains: A Case Study in Lebanon

“…GNSS measurements in the Static mode provide accuracy in the calculation of geodetic heights (within a few millimeters), which allows for an assessment of geoid waviness and, therefore, more accurate calculations of normal heights [13][14][15]. It should be noted that in practical activities, for example, in construction, GNSS measurement technologies are widely used today, which significantly implies its high accuracy in determining coordinates [16][17][18].…”

Error State Extended Kalman Filter Localization for Underground Mining Environments

“…The underground mining operation is an intensive process that requires constant updating of the layout plan, as well as roof subsidence monitoring. Automation of this work with the help of robotic equipment and novel technologies, such as computer vision [2], predictive model control [3], machine learning [4] and neural networks [5,6], will increase the efficiency of the mining process, in general, [7][8][9][10], and mine surveying, in particular, [11][12][13].…”
