Abstract: A system and method are described for generating a model of an environment in which a plurality of equipment units (104) are deployed for the extraction of at least one 5 resource from the environment. The system comprises a pre-extraction or in-ground modelling unit (204) configured to receive data from a first plurality of heterogeneous sensors in the environment and to fuse the data into a pre-extraction model descriptive of the environment and the at least one resource. An equipment modelling unit (208) is configured to receive equipment data relating to the plurality of equipment units 0 operating in the environment and to combine the equipment data into an equipment model. A post-extraction or out-of-ground modelling unit (206) is configured to receive data from a second plurality of sensors and to fuse the data into a post-extraction model descriptive of material extracted from the environment, wherein at least one of the equipment units operates to extract the at least one resource from the environment. 5 Information from at least one of the pre-extraction model, the equipment model and the post-extraction model is communicable to the equipment units for use in controlling operation of the equipment units in the environment. The environment may be a mine. (Figure 2) (N3 0 _ (0 0 E2f aw3 a)0 u 0 0 0) U)) 4-Ir E Q 0) U) 0) NN (NC (D W

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for generating a data representation of a geographical region as an adjunct to conducting autonomous operations within the region. The method comprises receiving information specifying a plurality of localised zones having operation-defined geographical boundaries within the region; receiving heterogeneous data descriptive of the region; associating the received data with respective localised zones; fusing the received data associated with the localised zones into data representations of the localised zones; and integrating the data representations of the localised zones into a common data representation of the geographical region.

Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method for generating a probabilistic model usable to identify instances of a target feature in geophysical data sets stored on a memory device. The computer implemented method using a computer processing unit to generate a probabilistic model from a training library for use in identifying instances of the target feature in the geophysical data sets, applying, using the computer processing unit, the probabilistic model to one or more of the geophysical data sets to generate a plurality of results, processing, using the computer processing unit, the set of results according to an acceptability criteria in order to identify a plurality of candidate results, receiving a selection of one or more of the candidate results and for the or each selected candidate result displaying on a display the result and its associated geophysical data set to assist a user in making an assessment as to whether or not the probabilistic model is an acceptable model for the processing of the geophysical data sets, receiving from a user an assessment as to whether or not the probabilistic model is an acceptable model; and if the assessment received indicates the probabilistic model is an acceptable model for processing the geophysical data, outputting the probabilistic model and/or the training library.

Abstract: Described herein is a method and system for characterizing in-ground rock types from measurement-while-drilling data in a mining environment. The method includes the steps of drilling holes at a plurality of selected locations within a region of interest; collecting measurements while drilling to obtain an array of data samples (162) indicative of rock hardness at various drilling depths in the drill hole locations; obtaining a characteristic measure (163) of the array of data samples; performing Gaussian Process regression (164) on the characteristic measure; and applying boundary detection (166) to the rock hardness output data obtained from the Gaussian process model to identify the distribution (280) of at least one cluster of rock type within the region of interest.
