Lockheed Martin and Australian company Sandpit have partnered to offer a system to mining companies for monitoring stockpiles from space, the Australian Journal of Mining reported Thursday.
Oliver Probert writes that MineRECON is built to to see a satellite take two photos, roughly a minute apart, of a specific area of land at a minesite, port facility, or any other site requiring stockpile monitoring.
The companies want to give clients accurate measurements of their stockpiles and deliver analyses of changes and trends around a site.
This stereo imaging method is designed to capture an entire minesite within one scene and result in an angle of around 30 percent between the “left” and “right” photos in the stereo pair.
