REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT PARAMETERS WHEN PROCESSING DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL IMAGES

Abstract

Many scientific works are devoted to the issues of using computer technologies in mine surveying, as they allow for the prompt and accurate processing of measurement results, and the receipt of mine surveying documentation not only on paper, but also in convenient digital form. The aim of the study is to analyze and select effective parameters of a computer that can be used for photogrammetric processing of digital survey results of mining enterprises. To build the model and solve the problems of determining the coordinates of control points, objects of various sizes were processed, the largest of which was a quarry photographed on 310 digital images obtained by ground shooting from bases of various sizes. In this case, the computer configuration was changed each time, seven computers were used. Seven computers were used for each change in the computer configuration. The results obtained allowed us to draw a conclusion about the advisability of choosing certain computer parameters depending on the tasks being solved. The studies use well-known software tools that allow us to estimate the power of computer hardware. The choice of optimal computer parameters was made on the basis of a compromise solution – to have sufficient power to process large volumes of information, for example, blocks of digital images of a quarry, at an affordable cost of equipment. The obtained data will allow the mine surveying department of the mining enterprise to determine the optimal computer parameters required for image processing and to economically spend resources that affect the efficiency of mine surveying work and the entire mining operation.
