Vision for the Future

Automated, online measurements systems providing...

Consistent automated measurement Repeatable automated analysis Big data to make robust decisions

(statistically significant) Automatic control of mineral processes Integrated control strategies become

possible

Why 3D imaging for fragmentation assessment?

Automated high resolution 3D imaging and advanced algorithms Overcomes limitations of 2D imaging Avoids particle delineation errors due to color variation in the rocks Directly measure 3D dimension of the material therefore no scaling objects or

perspecive distortion errors Detect overlapped particles preventing error from mis-sizing as smaller particles Detect areas-of-fines preventing error from mis-sizing as large boulders These are opposing errors As a result can provides a stable measurement suitable for closed loop automatic

control

This Paper : Expectation Expectation Sharp and accurate the 3D data and lots of it Detect small particles down to 20mm or less Detection of areas-of-fines (subject to some errors) Detection of overlapped/non-overlapped (subject to some errors) Relative size distribution comparison of measurements

This Paper : Outcome 3D data is highly smoothed and does not show sharp rock edges Small particles down to approx 60mm detected 3GSM applied a custom up-sampling to the raw data to produce the

desired high density 3D data set. But this had the side effect of smoothing the data, removing small particles, degrading edges and negatively affecting all of the analysis algorithms

LHD data most affected as it was also smoothed from motion blur Can detect areas-of-fines, and overlapped, non-overlapped rocks but

more errors

Comments The size curves attempt to capture the reality of the visible rocks on the pile surface,

and are not be representative of the sieving result. Size curves trend in the right direction given the observed size of the material Size curves are very different between the cave front, the LHD bucket, and the

sieving results, which is expected as the measured material is different in all three cases

The stereo 3D data was overly smoothed which had significant negative effects on fragmentation measurement algorithms

Stereo 3D data is not ideal for measuring a fast moving scene (such as LHD buckets in motion) as the data becomes more smoothed and less sharp

Lessons learned for successful collaboration with remote partners

Future Build an automated online roof mounted system based on the 2009 prototype

(cheap industrial laser scanners) to measure LHD bucket loads, all day, every day. These data sets contain approx 50,000 points from an LMS400 scanner, compared to

the ShapeMetrix3D data sets with 2 million points

Final Comments on Stereo 3D Stereo 3D depends heavily on the reconstructions algorithms reconstruction time : seconds or minutes, accuracy vs speed trade-off

Good for volume measurement Good for measuring high walls and relatively flat surfaces Not as good for fragmentation measurement 3D can be overly smooth Has areas of missing data both at rock edges and on rock surfaces

complicating delineation Not necessarily suitable for fast moving scenes
