Slope Topography Monitoring Based on UAV Tilt Photography Technology and Sensor Technology

Abstract

In order to solve the problems of high risk and low efficiency of the traditional rock mass structure logging method of open-pit mine slope, this paper proposes a method to improve the geological logging of traditional open-pit mine slope by using UAV tilt photography technology. Taking the slope of an open-pit quarry as an example, this method expounds the application method and work flow of UAV photography technology in geological logging. The experimental results show that the maximum and minimum absolute errors in the X direction of UAV test are 5.1 cm and 1.1 cm, respectively; MAE value is 2.90 cm; and RMSE value is 3.17 cm. The maximum and minimum absolute errors in Y direction are 3.3 cm and 0.9CM, respectively; MAE value is 2.36 cm; and RMSE value is 2.498 cm. Vertical error refers to the error in elevation. The maximum and minimum absolute errors in Z direction are 9.6 cm and 5.7 cm, respectively; MAE value is 7.44 cm; and RMSE value is 7.54 cm. Conclusion. The reliability of this technology is verified by comparing the occurrence measured by compass and that calculated by point cloud. On this basis, the dominant occurrence of structural plane is divided, which provides basic data support for the analysis of mine slope stability.

“…The authors [63] addressed similar issues, attempting to solve the problem associated with the high risk and insufficient efficiency of the traditional method of mining rock massifs on a slope in a quarry using UAS technology. The authors propose a new approach to increase the efficiency of geological mining on slopes in common surface mines.…”
