Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Assessing Mining Subsidence Risk

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Subsidence at abandoned mines sometimes causes destruction of local areas and casualties. This paper proposes a mine subsidence risk index and establishes a subsidence risk grade based on two separate analyses of A and B to predict the occurrence of ...

Towards Topological Exploration of Abandoned Mines [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006
The need for reliable maps of subterranean spaces too hazardous for humans to occupy has motivated the use of robotic technology as mapping tools. As such, we present a systemic approach to autonomous topological exploration of a mine environment to facilitate the process of mapping.
