چکیده

We demonstrate a three stage procedure for mine detection. The rst phase locates plausible candidates through a series of hypothesis tests. The second state nds the globally optimal convex set containing each candidate using \coarse-tone" dynamic programming. The third stage re nes the mine shape estimates using the knowledge contained in a mine-shape library.

A practical approach to open-pit mine planning under price uncertainty using information gap decision theory

In the context of open-pit mine planning, uncertainties including commodity price would significantly affect the technical and financial aspects of mining projects. A mine planning that takes place regardless of the uncertainty in price just develops an optimized plan at the starting time of the mining operation. Given the price change over the life of mine, which is quite certain, optimality o...

A New Semi-Quantitative Approach to Open-Pit Mine Sustainability Assessment

Sustainability assessment has received numerous attentions in the mining industry. Mining sustainability includes the environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and a sustainable development is achieved when all these dimensions improve in a balanced manner. Therefore, to measure the sustainability score of a mine, we require an approach that evaluates all these three dimensions of mining ...

Performance of EMI based mine detection using back-propagation neural networks

We propose and evaluate a neural network approach to mine detection using Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) sensors which provides a robust non-parametric approach. In our approach, a neural network with the well-known back-propagation learning algorithm combines the SStatistic with the δ-Technique to discriminate between non-mine patterns and mines. Experimental results show that this approach r...

The safety of a landmine detection system using graphite and polyethylene moderator

Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested up to now. Neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are the nuclear methods used for landmine detection. In this paper an optimized (safe and effective) moderating structure using an 241Am-Be neutron source for detecting landmines has been invest...

Choosing the Optimum Underground Mine Layout with Regard to Metal Price Uncertainty Using Expected Utility Theory

Metal price is one of the most important parameters in the calculation of cut- off grade. The cut- off grade has the main role in determination of mine layout. Mine layout actuates mineable reserve, mine life and economic profitability. Not considering the uncertainty in metal prices can lead to a non-optimal layout. In this paper optimum underground mine layout is determined by expected utilit...
