Özet

With the developing technology, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in mining has increased as well as in other branches of science based on spatial data. It is advantageous because it is fast, reliable, economical, and high precision. In open pit mining, unmanned aerial vehicles are used in many stages such as ore detection, determination of the veins to be used, volume calculations, reserve calculation, determination of the amount of stored mine, sectioning, dimensioning of block materials. It is also known that UAVs are used to detect the damage caused by the mines to the environment. The uncontrolled accumulation of water in the pits formed after the abandonment of the mine site and the destruction of forest areas can be given as example. Block-size materials in open pit mines can be examined by unmanned aerial vehicles as well as applied in other mining activities. In this study, the stages up to the extraction of point cloud maps using different software were done practically. In these measurements made with unmanned aerial vehicles, it was determined that there was a 2 cm margin of error in the block size material. More advanced studies can be done by using multispectral cameras in mining.
