A few tips to working with Point Clouds
Surpac makes mining data visualization smarter! Transform RGB point clouds into practical greyscale surface models, and with Surpac 6.8’s .OBJ support, bring textured meshes from 3D photogrammetry and laser scanning to life—delivering detail and ease for feature digitization.
As geologists, we commonly work with contoured images. These may be created from soil samples, topography, base of oxidation and so on.…
In this post, we explore an alternative method to contour assay results in GEOVIA Surpac – using gridding and interpolation to create a contoured grade surface.
Today’s blog guides users on how to make use of the GEOVIA Surpac Surface Validation feature which can be used to split trisolations and which was introduced in Surpac v6.8.
In many projects, mining technical teams need to interpret 2D plan data to create useable 3D solids that accurately represent the interpretation of the old workings. These 3D solids are required for resource model depletion, mining design and safety management purposes.
Discover in this video how to calculate distances from existing drillholes to planned underground workings.
Discover how to generate reconciliation heat maps to see the compliance of the as-built surfaces against plan with GEOVIA Surpac deviation analysis tool.
A common problem that underground surveyors have is how to post process their CMS surveys to make them valid. I have travelled to many sites and seen many different ways of doing this, but the problem remains that some of these CMS surveys are difficult to validate in a timely manner.
We’ve received a recent question from one of our Surpac users about combining DTMs, and I thought I would share this on the blog. The specific query was:
I have 2 DTMs that I want to combine, one represents the surface up to the crest of a pit and the other the floor. When combined, they will represent a pit design with the surface extending away from the pit.
Also, is there a Z factor or vertical exaggeration tool that can be applied temporarily to DTMs?
