Abstract
The increasing interest of users in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has developed new fields of application for it. Presently, UAVs are working in so many areas and the mining industry has shown grown interest in the use of UAVs for routine operations in surface, underground mines, and mine waste dumps. In this paper, a thorough review has been performed on the application of UAVs in mine safety management. Systematic reviews were conducted to summarize the results of over 60 papers published during the 2010-2021 period. The study offers a review of the most common applications involving mine safety, the styles of flying control, and the UAV types exploited. The paper also contributes to the identification of prevalent data acquired by sensors and points out the most popular processing techniques of aerial imagery. The obtained results revealed that UAVs are used at mining sites for safety purposes including mine surface displacements, stability monitoring, working environment, coal fire identification, drill and blast, and mine waste dump operations. This research hopes to provide a technical reference, expanding the knowledge and recognition of UAV monitoring to manage mine safety, as well as an assessment of applications in mining activities.
