The AIMS NSW Committee has received a research request and are supportive of the research being undertaken.
We are sharing this with our members in the hope that a number of mines might be able to provide access to a site and/or scanner that can be used in the research.
Please contact Mansoor directly per below if you can assist.

My name is Mansoor and currently doing my PhD on calibration of terrestrial laser scanning for the precise monitoring and deformation analysis at the university of Newcastle under the supervision of Dr. Lloyd Pilgrim. As the part of my studies, we aim to identify the influence and model the impact of refraction on the laser line of the sight occurred due to the atmospheric conditions. This error will be more significant in the long-range scanning and deviates the uncertainty of 3D point cloud within a few centimetres.
We are seeking the assistance in identifying suitable survey sites (particularly mining sites or others), preferably those with the flexibility in range for long-range scanning opportunities of 100 meters or more. The longer the range, the better suited it would be for our research. Additionally, we would be happy to apply our previously developed laboratory and potential field calibration testing and algorithms to your scanner if one is available.
I believe this cooperation will broaden more interest in our future work with the university to provide the improved user-oriented calibration tests for the manufactured scanners resulting in the precise monitoring and deformation tasks.
I would be happy to discuss the details further and provide any additional information you may require.
I do appreciate all for considering my inquiry in advance. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
