DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to FIG 1 , an integrated terrain modelling system 10 includes a central server 20 and four types of field units 30. Any reference in this patent specification to a field unit must be interpreted broadly to include a rover unit, an autonomous machines, radar apparatus and aerial photogrametry apparatus. By way of example different types of field units 30 shown in FIG 1 are GNSS survey rovers 200, total stations 300, laser scanners 400 and precision machine guidance systems 500. Two of each of the different types of field units 200, 300, 400, 500 are shown. The field units 30 are in wireless communication with a site module 21 of the central server 20 via a wireless network 50. The system 10 includes a wireless
communications module 40 at the central server 20 facilitating wireless communication between the site module 21 and the field units 30. Wireless communication may be over any of Wi-Fi, CDMA, GSM, 3G, 4G or other networks. As such, the wireless communications module 40 may be a data modem and wireless communications modules of the field units 30 are also data modems.
Each field unit 30 is operable to upload geodetic data generated by the field unit 30 to the central server 20 via the wireless network 50. The geodetic data may be uploaded in real or near-real time or upload may depend on the wireless communication connection. Mine sites may not have network coverage over the entire site. The geodetic data recorded by the field units 30 may be stored onboard the field units 30 until such a time as a wireless data connection with the central server 20 is established, at which time the stored data is transmitted to the site module 21 at the central server 20.
The site module 21 includes a database having a digital terrain model 22 of the mine site on which the field units 30 operate. The digital terrain model 22 is saved in the database in a memory of the site module 21. The terrain model 22 is updated with geodetic data received from the field units 30 as described.
Each of the field units 30 has a measuring device in the form of a sensor operable to generate raw geodetic data, usually in the form of point data. The different types of field units have different types of sensors generating geodetic data in different formats. Point data is generally raw XYZ co-ordinates which are formatted and/or converted into geodetic data of one or a number of different formats. The different formats of geodetic data are not easily integrateable. For this reason, the system 10 includes data conversion modules 24 at each of the field units 30. The data conversion modules 24 are operable to convert the geodetic data of different formats in real or near-real time into integrateable data of a common format to update the terrain model 22. The data conversion modules 24 together form part of an integration system operable to manipulate the geodetic data of the different formats in real or near-real time to be in the common format to update the terrain model 22.
- -
Conversion of the geodetic data of the different types of field units 30 is more specifically described hereinbelow with reference to the GNSS survey rovers 200, total stations 300, laser scanners 400 and precision machine guidance systems 500.
FIG 2 shows a front view of the GNSS survey rover 200. The
GNSS survey rover 200 comprises a sensor in the form of a GNSS receiver 202, a controller 204, wireless communication module 206 and data conversion module 24. The GNSS receiver 202 is operable to receive GNSS signals from GNSS satellites. The GNSS signals are communicated to the controller 204 where the signals are used to generate accurate location point data of the rover 200. The location point data is formatted into geodetic data of, for example, the dbx format. The geodetic data is converted by the conversion module 24 as described and transmitted to the central server 20 by the wireless communication module 206. The dbx format may be the common format for the field units 30, in which case the geodetic data is not further converted by the conversion module 24.
The controller 204 includes a memory having a database in which a terrain model of the site is stored. The terrain model is updated by the location point data surveyed by the rover 200 and also by updated terrain model data received from the server 20.
FIG 3 shows a perspective view of the total station 300. The total station 300 comprises a sensor in the form of an electronic transit and electronic distance measuring device (EDM) 302. The total station 300 is used to determine angles and distances from the total station 300 to points to be surveyed. With the aid of trigonometry, the angles and distances may be used to calculate raw geodetic data in the form of point data (x, y, and z or northing, easting and elevation) of surveyed points in absolute terms. The total station 300 also includes a controller 304, wireless communication module 306 and data conversion module 24. The point data is commonly formatted in dbx format as geodetic data. The geodetic data is uploaded to the central server 20 via the wireless communication module 306. The geodetic data is converted to the common format by the conversion module 24 before being transmitted. If
the common format for integration of data is the dbx format then the conversion module may not convert the geodetic data.
The controller 304 includes a memory in which a terrain model of the site is stored. The terrain model is updated by the point data surveyed by the total station 300 and also by the updated terrain model data received from the server 20. In one example, the total station 300 is a model Leica TPS 1200+ total station.
FIG 4 shows a perspective view of the laser scanner 400. The laser scanner 400 has a sensor in the form of a rotatable head 402 which is operable to scan the mine site to collect distance information about surfaces within the head's 402 field of view. The scanner 400 generates geodetic data in the form of point clouds. The point clouds are formatted in pts 3D point cloud data format. The scanner 400 includes a controller 404, wireless communication module 406 and data conversion module 24. The data in pts format is converted to a common format by the data conversion module 24. The geodetic data is transmitted to the central server 20 over the wireless network 50. In one example, the laser scanner 400 is a Leica HDS4400 scanner specifically developed for mining survey.
The controller 404 includes a memory having a database in which a terrain model of the site is stored. The terrain model is updated by the point cloud data generated by the scanner 400 and also by updated terrain model data received from the central server 20.
FIG 5 shows a side view of an earth moving vehicle 550 having the precision machine guidance system 500. The precision machine guidance system 500 includes a GNSS receiver, controller, wireless communication module and data conversion module. The guidance system 500 has a memory having a database storing a terrain model in the form of a dynamic surface (referred to as the "as built surface") which updates as the vehicle 550 passes through the as built surface. The guidance system generates and stores point data in custom ASCII data output format. The data in ASCII format is converted to the common format by the data conversion module of the machine guidance system 500. The geodetic data is transmitted to the central server 20 over the
wireless network 50.
The dynamic surface is updated by the point data generated via the GNSS receiver and also by updated terrain model data received from the central server 20.
The GNSS receiver 202, EDM 302 and head 402 and GNSS receiver of the guidance system 500 are all different types of sensors.
Referring to FIG 6, a block diagram of the integrated terrain modelling system 10 and the flow of data in the system 10 is shown. A first type of field unit 30.1 generates geodetic data of a first format at step 602. The geodetic data of the first format is manipulated by data format conversion on-board the first type of field unit 30.1 by the conversion module 24 at step 604. The geodetic data of the first format is converted to the common format for updating the terrain model 22. Similarly, a second type of field unit 30.2 generates geodetic data of a second format at step 606. The geodetic data of the second format is manipulated by data format conversion on-board the second type of field unit 30.2 by the conversion module 24 at step 608. The raw geodetic data of the second format is converted to be data of the common format for updating the terrain model 22.
The geodetic data of the first format is generated by either the
GNSS survey rover 200, the total station 300, the laser scanner 400 or the machine guidance system 500. The geodetic data of the second fomnat is generated by one of the GNSS survey rover 200, the total station 300, the laser scanners 400 or the machine guidance systems 500 other than the geodetic data generating equipment which generated the geodetic data of the first format. It will be appreciated that each type of field unit 30 may generate a different format of geodetic data from a different type of sensor, although only two formats of geodetic data are described with reference to FIG. 6.
The integrateable data of the two different types of geodetic data generating equipment 30.1 , 30.2 is wirelessly transmitted to the central server 20 as indicated by blocks 610, 612 respectively.
The integrated terrain model 22 is updated in real or near-real time when received at the central server 20 at step 614 with the commonly
- - formatted data of the two different types of field units 30.1, 30.2.
The block diagram of Fig 6 describes the integrated terrain modeling system 10 with reference to conversion of geodetic data onboard the field units 30. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conversion of the geodetic data into the common format to be seamlessly integrateable may be performed at the central server 20.
Fig 7 shows a block diagram of the central server 20 including a conversion module 26 which converts geodetic data of different formats to integrateable data of a common format at the central server 20.
The first type of field unit 30.1 generates geodetic data of the first format at step 602.
The geodetic data of the first format is manipulated by data format conversion on-board the first type of field unit 30.1 by the conversion module 24 at step 604. The second type of field unit 30.2 generates geodetic data of the second format at step 606. The geodetic data of the different formats is wirelessly transmitted 611 , 613 to the central server 20 without on-board processing at the field units 30.1 , 30.2. The geodetic data is received at the conversion module 26 at the central server 20, where the geodetic data is manipulated to be in a common format. The geodetic data in the common format updates the integrated terrain model at step 614.
FIG. 8 is a diagrammatic flow diagram of the method 700 of updating the integrated terrain model 22.
The method 700 comprises generating geodetic data of the first format at step 702. The geodetic data of the first format is generated using the first type of field unit 30.1 referred to in FIG's 6 and 7.
Geodetic data of the second format is generated at step 704. The geodetic data of the second format is generated using the second type of field unit 30.2 referred to in FIG' 6 and 7.
The geodetic data of the first format and the second format is manipulated by data format conversion at step 706 to be integrateable geodetic data which is in a common format. The geodetic data of the different formats may be manipulated on-board the respective field units 30.1 and 30.2 as described with reference to FIG 6 or be manipulated at
- - the central server 20 as described with reference to FIG 7.
The integrated terrain model 22 is seamlessly updated at the central server 20 with the commonly formatted geodetic as the data is received at the server 20.
The updated terrain model 22 as updated is distributed back from the central server 20 to each of the field units 30 at step 712. Distribution may be scheduled or event triggered.
The integrated terrain model 22 on the central server 20 is a master terrain model which is duplicated to the field units 30. The central server 20 includes a distributed database management system which manages distribution of the master terrain model 22 (or part thereof) to the field units 30 and the update of the integrated terrain model of the central server 20. Distribution of the terrain model 22 to all of the field units 30 keeps the terrain model current in all the field units 30.
The advantage of using a distributed database system is that the field units 30 are able to continue updating the terrain models in their own databases as required when the field units are out of communication range with the central server 20. The terrain model 22 is only updated from the central server 22 to the field units 30 as required to reduce unnecessary data replication.
FIG 9 shows a diagram of how the updated terrain model 22 saved in a database of the central server 20 is distributed by duplication to the field units 30. The terrain model 22 is wirelessly transmitted to each of the survey rover 200, total station 300, laser scanner 400 and the machine guidance system 500. The updated terrain model 22 is saved in the database of each of the field units 30.
The integrated terrain modelling system 10 provides real time or near-real time data exchange of geodetic data between the office and the field. This has the benefit that an accurate updated digital terrain model 22 is continuously maintained, which negates the need for end of month surveys. Using the updating of the terrain model 22, volumetric productivity of the mine can be calculated in real time. The geodetic data sets from the field units is seamlessly merged in real or near-real time rather than the cumbersome and time consuming manual merging of
- 1 - multiple data sets of different formats as is presently known. The terrain model 22 is distributed to the field units 30 to allow field operators, planners, engineers, and surveyors up to date information of the mine site.
In further forms still falling within the scope of this document the integration system is configured to provide a weighting when manipulating the geodetic data of the different field units when using that data to update the terrain model.
Preferably, the geodetic data of field units that provide higher accuracy geodetic data will have a higher weighting than the geodetic data of field units that provide lower accuracy geodetic data when the geodetic data, once converted to the common data formant, is used to update the terrain model of the site. For example, aerial photogrametery may only be used to update the site model once a month but will be assigned a higher weighting that, for example, position information from a vehicle or the like.
In this specification, the terms "comprise", "comprises",
"comprising" or similar terms are intended to mean a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a system, method or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include those elements solely, but may well include other elements not listed.
The reference to any prior art in this specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that the prior art forms part of the common general knowledge.
