Abstract

Wall control and blasting are two major activities that significantly impact the productivity and safety of open-pit mining operations. Although many monitoring equipment are used for improving slope stability, there is still a need for understanding slope behaviour during a blast. This paper describes a new technology called Blast Vision®, developed by Ground Probe, for monitoring the interaction between blasting and slope stability with a temporal resolution in the range of milliseconds. This technology represents an innovative departure from standard blast vibration sensors by measuring ground luminance changes on the ground surface through drone-based computer vision. Blast Vision application for slope stability, misfires and fly rocks is investigated in this publication.
