  BlastMetriX3D Version 3.6
 

The major issue in this release is that now it becomes possible to survey even more complex blast sites and model irregular crests without requiring additional equipment such as GPS. A new type of marking elements has been introduced (top level surface markers) with its application smoothly fitting into the BlastMetriX3D procedure.

   
 

Major changes in version 3.6:

General issues

  • System is able to survey uneven crests without needing any additional instrument such as GPS
  • New marker element: top level surface marker

BMX BlastSiteGenerator

  • Introduction of top level surface points for defining an irregular top level surface
  • Support of top level surface markers, i.e. add, delete, edit
  • Modelling of irregular top level surfaces using image measurements

BMX BlastPlanner

  • Visualisation of irregular top level surfaces in 3D
  • Editing of top level surfaces in 3D
  • Import of surveyed top level surface points (e.g. borehole collars measured by GPS)
  • Adjustment of irregular top level surfaces to a drilled borehole pattern
  • Improvements in profile and minimum burden views accounting for irregular top level surfaces
  • Enhancement in the printed report (PDF)

BMX SurfaceTrimmer

  • Minor bug fixes
 
  BlastMetriX3D version 3.5
 

Planning of blasts and rock mass characterisation at the same time!

   
  Essential modifications in version 3.5:

General issues

  • System supports the combination of several photos into a single 3D model, i.e. long bench faces orcorners are more conveniently surveyed
  • Compatibility to Windows 7
  • New system configurations: Express and Supreme

BMX BlastSiteGenerator

  • Support of merged 3D images
  • Easy switching between 3D subimages

BMX BlastPlanner

  • Support of merged 3D images
  • Redesigned graphical user interface with dock views enables free configuration and allows for a simultaneous display of profiles, minimum burden diagrams and plan view / 3D image in a clear layout.
  • Interactive import of down-the-hole probe data w/o GPS need

BMX SurfaceTrimmer

  • New visualisation options
  • Easy switching between 3D subimages
 
  BlastMetriX3D version 3.0
 
 

Essential modifications in version 3.0:

3D image generation:

  • Internal refactoring of 3D image generation routines
  • Increased support of multi-core processors
  • Refactored image processing leading to even increased reconstruction accuracies
  • Enhanced feedback on reconstruction quality

3D image assessment:

  • Increased flexibility of planning the blast site
  • Choosable unit system (meter, feet, inches)
  • Live switchover between reduced and full set of 3D points
  • Bounding box including overall dimensions
  • Boretrak data import
  • Improved GPS data support (e.g. for borehole collars)
 
  BlastMetriX3D version 2.1
 
 

Essential modifications in version 2.1:

  • More flexibility in changing the drill pattern such as
             o Combined plot showing a plan view and individual profiles simultaneously
             o Multiple selection of boreholes
             o Common change of borehole attributes such as inclination, azimuth or position
  • Introduction of north direction by compass reading
  • Output of critical depth i.e. the borehole depth showing the absolute minimum burden
  • Import of borehole deviation surveying probe (Pulsar, Boretrak following)
  • Enhanced import of borehole data (CSV)
  • Speed improvements (using capabilities of DualCore processors)
   
  BlastMetriX3D version 2.0
 
 

Essential modifications in version 2.0:

  • The system now uses four marking elements (two so-called delimiters marking the top level of the bench face and a reference line as well as two range poles marking the bottom level and providing scale).
  • Introducing the minimum burden diagram showing the minimum distance between borehole and free surface in any direction.
  • Colour-coded visualisation of burden over the whole bench face area easing the identification of problematic areas.
  • Free definition of borehole line in relation to the reference line defined by the location of the delimiters.
  • Free definition of borehole positions by co-ordinates related to the reference line.
  • Lateral movement of boreholes.
  • Sectional area between borehole and free surface
  • Extended information within printed report.
