Currently, annual resource utilization monitoring in open-pit mines primarily relies on two methods: self-reporting by mining companies and manual sampling. However, data reported by companies is heavily influenced by subjective factors, making it difficult to objectively reflect actual utilization. Manual sampling only covers some technical parameters, failing to achieve comprehensive and all-encompassing monitoring, resulting in insufficient accuracy and low monitoring efficiency.

[0170] First, the ore body and the image need to be transformed to the same coordinate system, two projected coordinate systems. Switch to The origin of both O 1 and O 2. They are different; the coordinate axes are not parallel. During transformation, in addition to the translation parameters... Euler angle is still needed , , Corresponding rotation parameters α , β , γ Additionally, scale variation parameters need to be set.

[0177] 4) Processing for docking orebody 3D models with open-pit mine image 3D models: This mainly includes docking based on intersection, inclusion, and irrelevance, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the activity monitoring data for open-pit mines are either intersecting or uncorrelated. If the ore body is not fully mined, the activity data is intersecting; if the ore body is fully mined, the activity data is uncorrelated.

[0181] For intersecting ore bodies, the intersecting portion needs to be cut out before calculation. The intersection includes the line of intersection between the ore body and the ground of the 3D image model. The surface within the intersection line is used as the top surface of the ore body for modeling. The intersection line and the triangular mesh form a closed polygon; triangular meshes are constructed for the vertices of the polygon. The resulting polygon vertices […]. V 1, V 2, V 3, ..., Vn Take three points in sequence and determine if they are collinear. If they are collinear, delete the intermediate point and repeat the above process until finished. Determine the concavity and convexity of the vertices using normal vector calculation. These triangular meshes are constructed into surfaces using a TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) to serve as the top surface of the docked 3D ore body model.
[0182] (5) Calculation of earthwork quota.
[0183] Open-pit mining involves not only extracting the ore body but also the surrounding rock. Therefore, the earthwork quota refers to the earthwork volume of the ore body, and thus mainly calculates the earthwork volume of the mined portion of the ore body. T Assume the top surface constructed in the first year is... S 1. The top surface constructed in the second year is S 2. How to use the top surface of the second year as the bottom surface, the top surface of the first year as the top surface, and the side surface of the ore body as the side surface to form a volume? This volume is the earthwork quota calculation quantity.

[0191] (6) Estimate of the amount of resources to be used, including the following.
[0192] 1) Resource estimation: The estimation parameters, methods, and block divisions for all types of resources should be consistent with the exploration report. The industrial indicators for the deposit should be consistent with current industrial indicators; any inconsistencies between the industrial indicators in the report and current industrial indicators should be corrected to the current indicators.
[0193] In this embodiment, the basic parameters for resource estimation include the area, average thickness, dip angle, grade, and average weight of the ore body within the utilization range. Sometimes, ore moisture content and ore-bearing coefficient are also included. The data should be based on the most recent exploration report. The location of the profile lines is selected based on factors such as the geological body occurrence, faults, and exploration projects. The vertical profile method is used to create the boundary lines of each profile line, which are then projected onto the reserve estimation map. The boundary points of each profile line are connected to delineate the utilization range.
[0194] Based on the scope of resource utilization, the amount of overburden is calculated using geometric methods (arithmetic mean method, geological block method, mining block method, cross-section method, contour line method, linear reserve method, trigonometric method, nearest area method, polygonal method), statistical analysis methods (distance-weighted method, kriging method), and the SD (inverse power-proportional-moving average) method. The geological block method and the cross-section method are commonly used. Overburden is a core component of the utilized resource volume, and the two are essentially the same in the open-pit mine monitoring scenario (i.e., the actual amount of resources consumed during mining). Calculating overburden is a crucial step in mineral resource management. Its purpose is to accurately calculate the actual annual mineral resource consumption of open-pit mines, ensure that resource development complies with planning targets, and provide data support for the collection of mineral resource compensation fees and the review of mining compliance.

[0202] 2) Verification of resource utilization: Verify the estimated volume of ore utilized (volume of all utilized blocks). (sum of) and earthwork volume If the absolute value of the difference between the two is less than or equal to a preset threshold ε, the resource utilization calculation is considered valid; otherwise, the resource utilization is recalculated starting from the registration of the ore body and the 3D image model. In this embodiment, the preset threshold ε can be set as the earthwork volume. 0.05~0.1 (ie 5%~10%).

[0204] (7) The final image can be generated using either of the following two methods.
[0205] 1) Vector and raster overlay method. The optimized annual mobilization range vector is input, along with the bands R (red): 669.43nm, G (green): 538.96nm, B (blue): 479.25nm from oblique photography, serving as input for the RGB (red, green, blue) color composite image. The composite color image uses points, lines, and surfaces with the same projection to represent the vectors. The raster and vector are then overlaid using coordinate layering.
[0206] For vectors ,in, For the corresponding coordinates, For eigenvalues, Vector values, raster , and For the corresponding coordinates, Let be the raster grayscale value. Thus achieving a grid Grayscale values and vectors The process involves overlaying raster and vector data using corresponding coordinates to output a GIS vector and raster overlay image. This creates an image that is visually appealing to the human eye.
[0207] 2) Input the UAV oblique photography image and the annual usage range, and output a GIS format overlay image suitable for human observation. The final image can be output as a JPG or TIF format through software.
