FaceCapture at NORCAT

Hey, David and Mary here at the NORCAT Underground Test Mine. We've had a great day hosting clients, doing some training with our FaceCatcher system.

Step 1 of 15

Hey, David and Mary here at the NORCAT Underground Test Mine. We've had a great day hosting clients, doing some training with our FaceCatcher system. We've had a lot of questions recently on how quickly can your system get a geolocation underground and perform a scan. And that's what we're going to show you today. If you come on in, we're going to have Mary start the process on the localization.

Step 2 of 15

Super fast process right here. I'm just going to align this data right to that previously captured georeference scan, click start localization, and begin that scan.

Step 3 of 15

At this point, I'm free to walk up to the face and capture my mesh.

Step 4 of 15

Be ready to go. So what this means while we're walking and with the geolocation is that all the survey data that we're capturing, meters of advance, volumes, all of this is already ready in the mine grid and capable of importing into your mine planning package.

Step 5 of 15

What Mary's going to do now is take a 3D image of the face right here and see how quickly we can do that.

Step 6 of 15

So I've turned on our light, clicked capture image.

Step 7 of 15

I'm going to take one photo really quick, mark it as a geology image, and click save.

Step 8 of 15

We're going to create that mesh here within 10 seconds.

Step 9 of 15

And once I have this mesh, that 8 megabyte file is going to be ready to be used in Deskwit mapping, LeapFrog, Vulcan, or any other data processing system that's being used on site.
