Abstract
Underground oil shale mine surveying using handheld mobile laser scanners
Highlights
Underground oil shale mining is a labour-intensive and challenging industry
In mobile laser scanning the instrument is attached to the moving platform, whereas the trajectory of the vehicle has to be determined in conjunction with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) datasets
A more appealing and time-efficient approach appeared to be using handheld mobile laser scanning that is based on the innovative simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology
Summary
Underground oil shale mining is a labour-intensive and challenging industry. Precise mine surveys are required to ensure the productivity and work safety of the mining processes as well as due consideration of accompanying environmental issues. In mobile laser scanning the instrument is attached to the moving platform, whereas the trajectory of the vehicle has to be determined in conjunction with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) datasets. These standard vehicle mounted mobile mapping systems are primarily designed for outdoors, whereas their utilization in indoor conditions remains a challenge. The Introduction is followed by a review on relevant background principles of the study and considerations on the applicability of the laser scanning technology in oil shale mine surveys in Estonia.
