Limestone Quarry Reserve Estimation by Laser Scanning and GIS Tools

The article presents the 3D survey of the open-pit mine in order to develop a 3D digital model for identification and quantification of the limestone deposits. The main principle of 3D laser scanning are explained and presented. The computer GIS techniques for data processing and creation of 3D digital model are presented and quantification 3D analysis tool are used to classify deposits in the area of interest.
