报告时间：2018年7月2日下午2：30

报告地点：环境与测绘学院A512

报告内容：This presentation provides an overview of advanced sensing systems to monitor various aspects of mining operations from exploration through to closure. A review of the case studies utilising multispectral, hyperspectral, thermal, LiDAR and RADAR sensors, in both surface and underground mines, is highlighted with the associated capabilities and challenges. Specific examples of fine scale mapping of wetlands and vegetation with UAV based LiDAR and hyperspectral systems will be highlighted.

报告人简历：Dr Raval had more than 23 years of combined experience in mining industry and academia. He is specialised in the integration of sensing technologies to drive applied innovation in mining, environmental and civil engineering sectors. He leads a group of researchers focused on utilising data from sensors mounted on various platforms, from satellite through to UAVs/drones, to visualise, identify and monitor the environmental footprints of mining activities. Dr Raval has received more than $850,000 as competitive research grants. He has published widely in journals and conferences besides delivering number of invited presentations in academia, industry and governments. He currently supervises PhD research projects involving drone-based smart sensing, mine rehabilitation/closure, climate change and asteroid mining.  

He is a Deputy Director and Scholarship Coordinator for Undergraduate studies in Mining Engineering at UNSW Sydney.
