@@Charmlethehedgehog since the levels of the mine are so variable (in vertical position), I think the best way to do it would be by making the interior solid and support them with clear plastic, instead of like layers of a cake. If you’ve ever seen a casting of an ant hill, that is exactly would it would look like. This would make it easier to visualize the distances between different levels, and maybe help Brent visualize where he could get past collapses via another level’s chute/ladder.

There's a scene in Prometheus where they send drones in to map out the alien cavern system and transmit live data about the internal structure, and I immediately thought of the guys from Corridor Crew mapping out the Cerro Gordo mines. "If only they could attach the lidar system to a drone, we'd have this technology today." Lo and behold, here it is.

I would recommend you check out the project "Autonomous drones for underground mining operations" which was finished this year here in Sweden. It's more than just a single drone and mapping that are on the table. Just a snippet from an interview: "The large-scale evaluations of the autonomous drone robots at the LKAB mine starts with the operator using a user-friendly interface to notify the three autonomous robots that inspections of gas levels at various locations in the mine are required. The autonomous central system then calculates the most efficient way of going about the work. It considers which robot should go to which point and measure the gas level, how it should navigate its way there, and then report completion of its task. All this is done in real time and by fully autonomous robots in a previously unknown, complex 3D environment with no GPS structure." There are a lot of use of drones in the mines and not just in research projects like this one. Going to save a lot of lives for sure. And money.

Indeed. And I think both have their place. The handheld is great for a quick run-through of an area (finding areas that might warrant a more detailed look), and for using in ways that the big unit can't be easily used (in fact, the rappelling down the Jefferson Chimney may not be necessary - depending on how straight it is, and how resilient the small unit is to the odd bump, it could theoretically be lowered down on its own, saving the risk of people using climbing equipment to achieve the same result). But in areas of specific interest, there is no contest - the detail offered makes it absolutely worthwhile to take ~30X longer to scan. I was absolutely blown away by how good it looked, and major kudos to Prof. Courtemanche and his team for creating what is, in effect, a sublime historical artifact.

Because in the video it seems like the first team was less efficient than the other when in the end they just wanted to achieve two different results. Maybe it's just an impression I had or it's the fact that I come from Quebec and I want us to look good! haha

I could see how the drone going down the jefferson Chimney could help unlock where it connects in to the rest of the system. I know you already were able to do to some of the connection. But to be able to send down the drone without risking lives is a game changer. If only they had a drone with tank treads that could be sent through small gaps or collapts.

most drones rely on connections like GPS, bluetooth, wifi, etc. these won't work through dense rock, so unless it's a straight shot it would be problematic. one on tracks would be neat. just a gopro attached to a vehicle of some sort... though you still need that connection to work to the controller.

I myself left a comment on one of his videos some years ago that he should try to get in touch with someone from Epic Games to come out and do photogrammetry and LIDAR scans to recreate Cerro Gordo in Unreal Engine for a VR experience. I would imagine the channel probably gets a couple dozen such comments on every video it uploads.

You can see the significantly lower quality of the Leica handheld. It's obviously much faster though, so if the accuracy is enough it might be just right for your purposes. That said, from a historical-preservation perspective, the high resolution is fascinating as it shows so much more detail in the mining techniques etc. and is more usable for a full VR application or similar.

I am so happy to see 3D mapping being done of the site, as it is one of the best ways to preserve something so everyone presently and into future will be able to see a site like Cerro Gordo. I’d say it comes down to the detail of data set scans when you are talking preservation. As the first team seems to have, based on the video, a higher amount of total points giving you a fairly exact texture scan, which would be good if you want to have a high quality replica or use it in a movie cut cut scene, or looking into the future a physical simulation, where the second team it seems you have less points so it smooths over the granular detail, which is good for getting the good overall size and scale of a place, which is good for a first time understanding of a site or a site location that is very time sensitive for it remaining as you can map a location very quickly, intern it would a be good enough quality scan for directly importing into any game in the last 10 years, or a location map for tracking where you are in the mine.

Brent! Glad to see a video drop on a Saturday. I was in the middle of watching a movie and saw my notification pop up. Well, for me, when a Cerro Gordo video drops, I have to stop whatever I am doing to hit Play! But whoa! 3D mapping CG? As a claustrophobic person, I knew I would never be able to explore the mines in person, but this seems to open up the possibilities! One of my favorite scenes is from the movie Prometheus, the 5th installment of the Alien film series. In the movie, there is a scene, where the scientist uses drone scanners to map the alien ship. It is movie magic of course, but while watching the film, I was reminded that innovation comes from fiction. I cannot wait to see what the results of your data will create. ❤

How did I get old……Brent bought a mine I saw advertised a decade ago and it still feels like a new adventure.

Great video. I’m pleased that those people shouted out to you and with the technology available today, helped you realise your dream of 3D mapping the tunnel systems. Thank you. Take care, keep safe. ❤ Dorset, UK

Hey Brent, amazing technology, way ahead of this old-timer, heard Jeff Williams a geologist/U-tuber/miner talk about it awhile back, all above my flintstone mind, Lol! Glad to see you've been able to apply it to Cerro Gordo, I'm sure something outstanding will become of it... keep it up and keep it happening! ⛏️⚒️👍🤯🤠

So we could get Cerro Gordo on street view? Cerro Gordo horror game! Edit: maybe a colab with Pirate software to do a game jam based on Cerro Gordo?

I agree. Some kind of 'Subnautica' style survival game, with collapses, flooding, dangerous gases, hostile flora and fauna, resources to collect, bases to build, equipment tech tree, mystery storyline, clues, quests, et al.

Personally, I wouldn't necessarily be interested in a horror themed game but I would absolutely love a pc game where you could wander around the entire town of Cerro Gordo, maybe do a little mining and go exploring down in the mines.

This is EXACTLY what I was talking about when I commented on a Dave Ramsey video talking about the responsibility of those with financial resources to use those financial resources to grow communities, otherwise they damn those same communities to the opposite of prosperity. You chose the right people to hire!

Oh my. I'm thinking 3-D puzzles and play models with sections to open up and "mine." How about a crawl-through soft tunnel printed with a section of the mine on the inside? Come on, toy companies! This will be "gold!"
