Creation of Live Virtual Reality Model of
Real Environments from Sensor Fusion

Institute for Information Technology
Time: Tuesday, 23.5.00, 16:15 - 17:45
Location: Seminarraum 183/2, 4th floor, yellow area

This presentation describes a generic technology for modeling in
real time, the various operations of surface and underground mines.
Based on various sensor fusion techniques and high-speed network,
a virtual reality model of a mine capable of representing not only
static infrastructures but also mobile equipment such as trucks
and excavators is created. The modeling technique deal with a wide
range of sensors such as survey data, satellite pictures, ore
concentration, machine condition indicators, video, sound,
real-time GPS locator, range sensor, etc. The model created allows
for every piece of information to be displayed in context allowing
for a better temporal and spatial correlation of events by mine
operators, planners, and supervisor. Syncrude, a Canadian mining
company located in northern Alberta, is planning to use this
technology, not only to understand oil sands mining processes
better, but also to give decision-makers better access to the
timely, accurate information from the field that they need to
make informed decisions.
