Mine Geotechnical Studies
Point-cloud processing software for geotechnical studies employing proven 3D imaging technologies.
Mine geotechnical investigation using modern 3D imaging technologies
Process 3D point cloud data from LIDAR scans and photogrammetry to quickly and easily generate detailed information.
Hexagon equips geotechs with mine investigation software designed to extract geotechnical information from point clouds. For rock mass characterization, important attributes of the geologic structure are extracted from the point clouds, including discontinuity orientation and spacing.
Overview
Analysing drillhole data to characterize faults and other structures is essential for geotechs to understand and use rock characterization for mine planning.
Hexagon’s mine geotechnical investigation software allows for quick and easily generated detailed geotechnical information by leveraging point-cloud processing of 3D point cloud data from LIDAR scans and photogrammetry. This includes:
- Cell mapping and pre-rock blast conditions, including in-situ block size and joint spacing
- Cross-sections analysis for slope instability, rockfall modeling and accurate measurement of burden
- Change detection for rockfall and ground movement
For rock mass characterization, important attributes of the geologic structure are extracted from the point clouds, including discontinuity orientation and spacing. The orientation results are plotted on a stereonet and the primary joint sets are determined.

We’re climbing the automation curve
Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating. Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.
-
Level 0/None:
Human performs all tasks, no data being used
-
Level 1/Human-assisted:
Human is in charge of performing tasks but certain functions are automated to simplify control
-
Level 2/Partial:
Some tasks are automated so that operation can be autonomous for short periods (or within specific circumstances)
-
Level 3/Conditional:
Autonomous operation is possible within certain bounds, but human intervention may be necessary at short notice
-
Level 4/High:
Designed to complete required tasks autonomously, but may require human intervention if circumstances change beyond specific bounds
-
Level 5/Full:
Control tasks automated under all conditions, but human may request to take over; can complete all expected tasks without human intervention
