Flying a drone

1. Build flight Plan - GCS Smart Plane software

2. Pre-flight

Marking Reference point on the ground

Drone & Camera pre flight checkup

Ground station set-up

3. Take off - manual

4. Flight –The onboard camera creates a set of

photos that are used to create 3D surfaces.

Flight 45 minutes and covers 0.45km2

5. Landing – crush landing

6. Data Download

7. Software AgiSoft data manipulation

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs when overlapping exact positions of surface points within photos.

Ground control points are curtail to keep the vertical accuracy is witan few centimeters.

With the combination of Agisoft, Smart Plane Aerial photos and Trimble GPS survey equipment we can produce various georeferenced models of topographies.

• Those models include: • Dense clouds model (point Cloud),

• 3D surface model,

Outputs: Digital elevation model (DEM),

Ortho mosaic photo.

Camera Stations

Data processing:

1. Copy pictures from Cameras SD card to

computer hard drive.

2. Copy Smart Plane data file from the flight

into the same folder.

3. Open AM smart Plane Software and

select the data file and run the

programme.

4. AM programme interprets the data file

and links every picture to the GPS

coordinate location were the picture was

taken during the flight.

5. The software will then produce a camera

station file, this file contains the photo

id with x, y, z, coordinates.

Point Model

• The picture to the right is called tie

point model. Each point in the

model is a common overlapping

point within 2 or more photos.

• The pictures on the right are

examples of a point cloud.

• A point cloud is a set of data

points in a three-dimensional

coordinate system, these points

are defined by X, Y, and Z

coordinates and create a surface

when combined together.

Build Mesh

The pictures on the right are

examples of mesh or surface that can

be generated from the point cloud.

The mesh can be exported as a Dxf

3d face.

With these surfaces you can:

• compare pit surfaces from

previous months to calculate

differences in volume.

• Trim the surfaces to calculate stock

pile volumes.

• Update as-build drawings.

• Compare pit to ultimate pit design

to insure final pit design is being

followed.

Build DEM & Generate Contours

After the mesh is

constructed it is now

possible to produce A DEM

( Digital Elevation Model ).

DEMs are exported to

Surpac and used for volume

calculation

From the DEM you can

produce contours of the

topography

Contours are used by

engineering to assemble

drawings in Surpac and

AutoCAD to track pit, dump

and project progress

Ortho mosaic photo

Drone software can

construct an ortho mosaic

photo as shown on the

right.

Photos are used to

visually track and inspect:

• pit,

• dump,

• tailings construction

and filling schedule,

• stockpile and

• projects progress.

Wall mapping and surface

construction Agisoft can be used to construct 3D model and point clouds using generic photo recognition.

Uploading multiple overlapping photo of an object into Agisoft.

If with in the photo’s there are reference point you can pin reference markers do designated location and the 3D model of the object will be scaled and reference to the coordinate system of choice.

These types of models can be handy to achieve high definition models of pit walls and surfaces. Pit wall models can be used to map geological features in mining software.

1. Along the toe of the wall stake targets with spray paint.

2. Each marker will need to be numbered and visible in the photo.

3. Every photo would require a minimum of two reference point in the photo.

4. Survey the centre of each target.

Taking the photos

1. When taking the photos of the object/wall take them parallel to the surface moving along.

2. Then make another 2 pass’s at a closer distance each pass across the wall.

3. Note: keep the camera angle square to the object. It is best to avoid shadows in the pictures, photos of pit walls have the best resolution when the rock is wet and shaded.

workspace tab.

2. Select “draw polyline” in tool bar.

3. Trace desired geological feature.

4. In this exampled an argillite feature

was traced.

5. In Surpac convert dxf to string file.

6. Open DTM surface of the wall.

7. Drape string of the desired DTM.

Smart Planes UAV - Drones

Operation:

Flight path is made and downloaded onto the aircrafts

onboard system

The drone is thrown into the air by a member of the team

while another member operates the RC controller.

The flight starts in assisted mode and transitions to auto

mode to achieve pre-set flight path

The drone has an endurance of approximately 45 minutes

and would cover 0.45km2, depending on the elevation at

which the drone is flown. The battery will die and the plane

will fall out of the sky.

The direction in which the plane fly's should be

perpendicular to wind direction. Do not fly in wind

condition that exceed 30km/hour.

The onboard camera creates a set of photos that are used

to create 3D surfaces

Pre-Flight

Have surveyor lay out reference points. You

will need a minimum of two reference point

for each working bench in the pit. 3 around

the stock piles. 2 for the dams and 2 in the

north pit dump area. The reference points

should be a large cross painted on the

ground with orange florescent spray paint.

Surveyor will then survey the center of the

cross with GPS equipment. Note: the more

reference points used in the survey the

better and more accurate the data will be.

Pre-Flight: Take off procedure

1. Place the drone on a flat level surface and turn on

the camera, then followed by the plane. IT must be

kept absolutely still while the gyros initialise (

about 10seconds)

2. Put the remote in assisted mode, and turn the

throttle off.

3. On the computer, on the Drone Flight main

screen, put the communication link to COM 3.

4. This will connect the drone to the radio and

Drone Flight program.

5. A box will pop up, identify the folder in which to save

flight data file.

6. Wait for the drone to calibrate and connect. A big

red circle will appear over the site photo on the

Drone Main screen. This is the max distance you can

fly from your currant location.

7. Load Flight plan

Select: “Plan tab > Open > Flight Plan File > Upload”

8. Select : “Flight Control Tab”

Pre-Flight: Take-off

1. Activate plan by clicking the activate button.

2. Hold the plane level and briefly toggle the

flight mode into manual. This will reset a

navigation auto-trim offset that tends to

increase when the aircraft is stationary on the

ground.

3. Have your teammate hold and grip firmly the

fuselage by the grip tape.

4. Increase the throttle to 50%, then launch the

aircraft with a powerful throw into the wind at

about 30% upwards angle while

simultaneously advancing to full throttle.

Immediately pull back on the stick to stabilise

the climb at about 25 to 35 degrees.

5. Once high enough to clear surrounding

obstacle's switch to automatic.

Mid Flight

1. Once the plane is in auto it will automatically go into park

mode. This is when the plane loops around above the

ground control station at the parameters chosen in the

flight plan.

2. Once the plane has reached its target parked altitude and

flying in control you can select “start photo block”.

3. The autopilot will automatically activate and control the

camera so that photos are taken at constant geographic

spacing according to the specified overlap.

4. When flying the plane it is necessary to monitor the travel

speed of the plane. The optimal speed is between 8 to

16m/s for best photo quality and maintain elevation

control. If the plane slows down to less than 6m/s it is

necessary to click the dash button. This will allow the

plane to penetrate strong winds giving another 3m/s

speed. Once the plane turns and begins flying back down

wind you can click the cruise button and the plane will

then use normal throttle set-point.

Landing

1. When the plane completes the flight plan it will automatically go into park mode and return to the take-off area.

2. Close camera before landing, this will help prevent any damage to the optical lens when landing.

3. Take control of the plane in assisted mode. It is often best to descend in tight but relaxed spirals with 0 throttle at close

range, then make a single final lap up for the final approach straight into the wind while aiming for a touchdown point

close to you.

4. If landing is compromised by lack of space the operator can switch the plane back into auto and the plane will go back into

park mode.

Post Landing

1. Once the plane has landed and secure, ensure that the plane remains in assisted mode and throttle is off so that the

propeller will not spin and hit the ground.

2. Click on the stop button, this will deactivate the RC remote to the plane.

3. Next is to close the radio link, this will complete and finalise the data file.

4. You can now fetch the plane from landing site and turn the switch on the plane to off.

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs when overlapping exact positions of surface points within photos.

When surveyed ground control points are marked prior to the aerial images being captured the vertical accuracy can be 5cm.

With the combination of Agisoft, Smart Plane Aerial photos and Trimble GPS survey equipment we can produce various georeferenced models of topographies.

• These models include: • dense clouds model (point Cloud),

• 3d surface model,

• Digital elevation model (DEM), ortho mosaic photo.

• Build 3DM contrours

Camera Stations

1. After the flyover the processing of

the data begins.

2. Copy pictures from Cameras SD card

to computer hard drive.

3. Copy Smart Plane data file from the

flight into the same folder.

4. Open AM smart Plane Software and

select the data file and run the

programme.

5. At this point the AM programme

interprets the data file and links

every picture to the GPS coordinate

location were the picture was taken

during the flight.

6. The software will then produce a

camera station file, this file contains

the photo id with x, y, z, coordinates.

Point Model

• The picture to the right is called tie

point model. Each point in the

model is a common overlapping

point within 2 or more photos.

• The pictures on the right are

examples of a point cloud. A

point cloud is a set of data

points in a three-dimensional

coordinate system, these points

are defined by X, Y, and Z

coordinates and create a surface

when combined together.

Build Mesh

• The pictures on the right are

examples of mesh or surface

that can be generated from the

point cloud. The mesh can be

exported as a Dxf 3d face.

With these surfaces you can:

• compare pit surfaces from

previous months to calculate

differences in volume.

• Trim the surfaces to calculate

stock pile volumes.

• Update as-build drawings.

• Compare pit to ultimate pit

design to insure final pit design

is being followed.

Wall mapping and surface

construction

With Agisoft it is also possible to use the software to contruct 3d model and point clouds using generic photo recognition.

This can be done by unloading multiple overlapping photo of an object into Agisoft.

If with in the photo’s there are reference point you can pin reference markers do designated location and the 3d model of the object will be scaled and reference to the coordinate system of choice.

These types of models can be handy to achieve high definition models of pit walls and surfaces. Pit wall models can be used to map geological features in mining software.

The following slides will break down the process of constructing these models and demonstrate its benefits and capability’s.

Staking reference points

1. Along the toe of the wall you will have to stake targets with spray paint.

2. Each marker will need to be numbered and visible in the photo.

3. Every photo would require a minimum of two reference point in the photo.

4. Survey the centre of each target.

Taking the photos

1. When taking the photos of the object/wall take them parallel to the surface moving along.

2. Then make another 2 pass’s at a closer distance each pass across the wall.

3. Note: keep the camera angle square to the object. It is best to avoid shadows in the pictures, photos of pit walls have the best resolution when the rock is wet and shaded.

the associated visual reference

markers in all the pictures it is now

time to optimise camera angles. This

process is when Agisoft re-adjusts

photo alignment and scales the

drawing to fit the datum and grid

selected in previous steps. Also at this

stage the drawing is now ready for

arcuate depth construction within the

model, this will take place in the

following steps:

1. Select optimise camera angles.

Mapping geological features

After models have been constructed it is possible to draw polylines onto the surfaces or photo. This

tool can be handy for tracing geological features on the surface. To accomplish this you need to

trace a polyline onto the orthomosaic photo than you can export this line as a dxf. The dxf can than

converted to a string file and opened in surpac. Because the polyline is being traced on a

georeferenced picture it only have x,y attributes. To give the segment its z value you can drape the

string over top of the dtm file which roots from the same Agisoft project.
