Hello Chandra Bhushan Verma, The use of remote sensing in the mining industry has been attempted. Due to the special features of mining materials, problems with tool loading and often frequent wear and tear often occur. This naturally can not be detected immediately by remote control. Therefore, there is still a need for a well-experienced operator who can react and adjust the amount of ore loading time in time. In the explosive extraction of ore, the use of remote operation is a good solution. But there are many problems associated with frequent defect of control and monitoring sensors. The topic is interesting and I wish success in the research With respect Emil Yankov
Remote sensing technologies can be utilized extensively in Mining operation industries. In recent times, the information about surface fire detection can be known using the utility of optical , thermal and radar remote sensing. Also, the pre-information about the mineral abundance can be known by using the Hyperspectral remote sensing. In addition to this, specifically for understanding the orientation of the toxic elements like Co and Nickel in case of iron ore mining setting. This would actually help to know the places where there is a mixture of these acting pollutants and hence, careful design of mining practice can be incorporated. Furthermore, a lot of research is underprogress for identifying land subsidence caused by such mining activities using advanced synthetic aperture radar techniques like PSInSAR and DinSAR.
You could explore more in deriving strata convergence for ensuring a better health environment by utilizing remote sensing technology. Even, the physical and geotechnical properties can be derived signifying the importance of surface and subsurface petrography in knowing the bulk composition of the interior and hence, can be utilized for understanding the behavior and orientation of different ores.
Well! Remote Sensing in Mining Applications! Sensors without physical contact! It does not include litho-logging or Drilling! But Includes Seismic, Electromagnetic/ Resistivity Surveys, Airborne/Space borne Hyper-spectral data, DEM, SAR, High Resolution FCC Satellite images are helpful in various perspectives of Remote Sensing in Identification of mines, Mine planning, Rough Volume estimation in Cut and fill techniques! Mapping of Mines etc!
Also some tools/Sensors work on radar is also a part of remote sensing, fitted with Mining Machines and labors so that they may be tracked by the employer and be recovered on collapse or to alert during danger.
