Resource Mapping and Identifying Water Drainage Pattern Using Aerial Photogrammetry in Padhrar Coal Project, Central Salt Range, Pakistan

An up-to-date area mapping technique is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and Digital Photogrammetry. Punjab Mineral Development Corporation (PUNJMIN) has successfully executed this new UAV-based mapping and evaluation techniques to digitally map, and model exposed geological features to better understand subsurface structures associated with mineral potential. Through aerial photogrammetry reconstructing real-world objects in ۳-D from overlapping digital images. Data retrieval, processing, and presentation of data findings are the stages of this research. These new techniques allow us to map our mineral resources and give us a lead for safe future development. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) combined with high quality ۲-D Orthomosaic maps will help us to better understand conditions above and below ground. We have developed new UAV-based, remote-sensing techniques that are very cost-effective and allow us to perform ۳-D modeling and analysis of the Earth’s surface. By using modern data collection and analysis software’s, we aim to improve resource management, evaluation and fully unlock the extraction potential. Finally, our research demonstrates that UAVs are an excellent platform for capturing aerial photographs, which may then be used for photogrammetric mapping and other purposes.
