Investigation of local laser scanner use and integration of UAV and local laser scanner in underground mines

In many stages of mining, we need mine cartography and land surveys. Exploration, survey, project, preparation, production, post-production stages and manufacturing maps, ventilation maps, Termin maps which are submitted to the General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs (MAPEG) each year. They are the main ones which we need. Underground mining is classified as very dangerous workplaces due to the difficulty of working conditions and numerous dangers that may occur in the work area. Measuring in the entries for a long time is dangerous and risky. Traditional Geodetic surveying methods used in underground mines do not meet the needs in many aspects. In addition, underground measurements With the terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) technology that emerged in the early 1960s, measurements that took a long time began to be made in a short time. In addition, 3D modeling is achieved with the help of dense point clouds created by measurements made with TLS. When we use 3D modeling in underground mines, entries sections are created clearly and an important base is provided for different engineering branches. We can get enough information from CAD files which is created from computer. The use of TLS integrated with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) also takes occupational health and safety one step further and makes the measurement made with the help of TLS even safer. Modeling the areas where the measurement is risky with the help of UAV allows it to be done by avoiding the risk-free areas within the entries. In this way, we can minimize possible work accidents. The fact that the underground UAV technology is a developing technology makes the research even more meaningful.
