Abstract
Previous researches conducted the fragmentation analysis by capturing images of the muck pile
using digital camera at eye-level point of view. Therefore, this research is dedicated for
analyzing the Particle Size Distribution after blasting using aerial photography as a new
approach. This is to compare the results of taking digital images of the muck pile at eye-level
point of view from aerial point of view. The introduction of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
to this research which act as a device for aerial photography and not to mention Fotor Photo
Editor software is to enhance the images taken to ensure good results when being analyzed
using WipFrag 2010 software. Throughout findings, different point of view for image capturing
can show different results. At aerial view, it shows strong consistency of results when being
analyzed to the Particle Size Distribution graph. Not to mention, at any direction or angle when
the being done using aerial photography, the Particle Size Distribution graph remains
consistent. Furthermore, if the digital image is being enhanced with a better quality, the Particle
Size Distribution graph shows a more accurate result. Therefore, through this study, there will
be a much better understanding on the effect of using aerial point of view compared to an eye level point of view on the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) graph. Not only that, this study also
proves that with the introduction of technology to Mineral Resources industry, new researches
and findings can be obtained to achieve and excel more in this industry.
