3GSM

ShapeMetriX 3D

SMX_3D

is an easy-to-use system to acquire surfaces with three-dimensional images.

For data acquisition a standard digital camera is used which is calibrated by software from 3GSM. With it, the area of interest is (freely) captured from at least two angles.

Dedicated software enables digital rock mass characterisation including geometric measurements and geologic mapping capabilities.

Features

 

  • Reproducible acquisition of rock mass conditions
  • No more access problems and no pressure of time for the assessment
  • Measurement of position, distances, areas
  • Sectional views (cross sections), profiles
  • Measurement of spatial orientations (dip angle & dip direction)
  • Geological/geotechnical assessments• Discontinuity spacing
    • Hemispherical plots
    • Discontinuity set clustering
    • Statistics on spatial distribution of orientation measurements.
    • Scanline
  • Discontinuity modelling
  • Data export (CSV, DXF, OBJ

    • Mobile mapping
    • ShapeMetriX 3D - Principle

      Generated 3D model of a bench face in a quarry. The result consists of a dense set of 3D points plus the photo. Using the integrated 3D assessment tools geological mapping can be done simple and contact-free.

    • 3D model with hemispherical plot

      3D model of rock wall with measured discontinuity orientations and integrated assessment of trace sets visualized in a hemispherical plot including statistics.

       

    • 3D model with spacing parameters

      3D model of a rock wall with extensive interpretation of the inaccessible hazardous area as well as integrated plot for determining the spacing of one discontinuity set.
