Introduction
SURVOU is a data format conversion process.
How to use
It requires as input a point file containing the coordinates of each unique point in the survey database and a string segment file containing the links between those points to form strings. These files are output by the following processes:-
Reduction of survey tacheometry measurements. |
|
Interactive graphic survey editor. |
SURVOU creates an output perimeter file of the type used in mine planning, and surface modeling processes. Points that are stored in the input point file but are not linked within a string will be output to a points file. This allows a file of unconnected points to be supplied as input to the surface digital terrain modeling process SURTRI. Processes that would use the output from SURVOU:-
Surface terrain modeling.
Generates a triangulated wireframe digital terrain model from perimeter, string, and/or point data files, subject to optional string constraints. |
Open pit mine-planning.
Blast-hole layout within a blast. |
Files, Fields and Parameters
Input Files
Name | Description | I/O Status | Required | Type |
POINTIN | Input point file. This will contain fields PID, X, Y, Z, PSYMBOL, PSYMSZE, P and PERIOD (numeric, explicit). | Input | Yes | Undefined |
SEGIN | Input string segment file. This will contain PID1, PID2, PVALUE, PTYPE, PCODE, P. | Input | Yes | Undefined |
Output Files
Name | I/O Status | Required | Type | Description |
PERIMOU | Output | Yes | String | Output perimeter file. This will contain the fields XP, YP, ZP, PTN, PVALUE, PTYPE, PCODE, P, PSYMBOL, and PSYMSZE. Additional fields found in the input files will be added to the output perimeter file. |
