Concealed fault analysis based on the CT projection matrix

This paper proposes the concept of projection curves based on the theory of CT image reconstruction to probe the internal structure of the working panel prior to formal mining of the working panel. As well as reducing costs, this method provides safe and efficient excavation of the working panel. According to the results of the numerical model and the actual working panel, the new method has been proven to be accurate in detecting the location of the fault that extends into the face. Concealed faults of the internal working panel, as well as the start and end points of the fault, can be detected by this method. Engineering practice has proven that the method is highly reliable, has a highly decisive impact on faults for coal mining, and can be used to guide the safe mining of the working panel.
