Imagemaster software has an impressive ability to map all aspects of quarry topography that could not be surveyed using traditional methods due to H&S and time considerations. Of particular interest to blasting planning where rock protuberances can be modelled.
The accuracy of the model below is about 5cm and was acquired using a 6 megapixel Nikon DSLR with 28mm lens.
