Measurement of dump heights at conveyor bridges alliances 01.12.2006

The successful completion of the project for measurement of dump heights at conveyor bridges alliances was the start for online digital terrain modelling in real time mode. Important technical equipment of the solution are Laser mirror scanners, GPS in real time kinematic mode, Ethernet based process data networks, rugged industry PC and special applications for data handling, storage and visualization. On screen applications are practical assistance tools for machine operators. The same view and a couple of special functions were realized for mining engineers. The user front ends were distributed web-based. The application on spreader is presently in progress.The third dimension is added to the 2D-scanning technology by the regular motion of mining machinery like overburden conveyor bridges or spreaders within their working processes. On this way a real time and online surface model of the working area with a high precision and actuality is created without any post processing of data.
