Course on Innovative Subsurface Mining Imaging Systems

Underground surveying and monitoring is essential for the success of high-performance underground mining operations. Modern systems offer new ways to acquire spatial information and to create realistic and accurate 3D models. In this short course you will learn about existing solutions and possible fields of application, to better understand how future underground surveying could look like.

During the course you will learn about existing solutions and possible fields of application, based on the technical work principles and theoretical background, to better understand how future underground surveying could look like.
