CHCNAV X500 and AlphaAir 9: Redefining Aerial Mining Surveys
One of the most powerful technologies available for mining applications today is drone-based LiDAR mapping. The CHCNAV X500 UAV combined with the AlphaAir 9 LiDAR system enables rapid collection of highly accurate terrain data over large mining sites.
The system captures dense three-dimensional point clouds, allowing surveyors to generate detailed topographic maps, monitor excavation progress, calculate stockpile volumes, and support mine planning activities with greater efficiency. Even in heavily vegetated or rugged terrain, LiDAR technology provides accurate terrain information that supports better operational decisions.
CHCNAV X500 AND AA9 SAMPLE OUTPUT MAPS
The maps shown were generated using the CHCNAV X500 and AA9 LiDAR SYSTEM, demonstrating the capability to produce accurate and detailed geospatial data for mining and surveying applications. The outputs include classification maps, intensity maps, elevation models, RGB orthomosaics, contour maps, and Digital Elevation Models (DEM), providing comprehensive terrain analysis and visualization. These deliverables support mine planning, stockpile monitoring, topographic surveying, site assessment, and informed decision-making through high-resolution and reliable spatial information.
Key Outputs:
Classification Map – Identifies and categorizes terrain features such as ground, vegetation, and structures.
Intensity Map – Displays LiDAR return intensity for enhanced surface interpretation.
Elevation Map – Visualizes terrain height variations across the survey area.
RGB Point Cloud – Provides realistic colorized representation of the surveyed site.
Contour Map – Illustrates terrain shape and elevation changes through contour lines.
Digital Elevation Model (DEM) – Delivers detailed terrain information for analysis, planning, and volume computations.
These outputs enable mining professionals to enhance operational efficiency, improve site understanding, and support data-driven decision-making.
