Datamine MineFlight automates drone image capture for precise geological mapping

Datamine MineFlight is an advanced drone flight planning application designed to automate the image capture process critical for drone-based photogrammetry. Specifically developed to integrate seamlessly with Datamine's geological and geotechnical mapping solutions, including Sirovision and Studio Mapper, MineFlight ensures efficient and accurate data collection for enhanced mapping and analysis.

MineFlight, integrated with Studio Mapper or Sirovision, offers a comprehensive solution for geologists and geotechnical engineers in open-pit mining. It eliminates the need for external departments and pilots, enabling teams to design and manage their own surveys with ease.

Unlike manual flights that require skilled pilots, take longer, and produce inconsistent overlap with more photos, MineFlight streamlines the process. Traditional horizontal flight planning is inadequate for steep terrains in open-pit walls, but MineFlight’s vertical flight mode allows for precise flight plans tailored to these conditions. This enables orthogonal photos of steep rock faces, resulting in more accurate and detailed 3D models.
