Highlighting Careers: Flying Drones in the Mining Industry
October 17, 2023
Dr. Richard Bishop visits the SME Headquarters to talk about how he uses drones in the mining and minerals industry, from LiDAR scanning, photogrammetry, to scanning underground mine pillars for stability. Once the drone data has been collected, he then talks about how he uses that data in the office.
