Abstract

UAV surveying and mapping technology, leveraging its efficiency, precision, and flexibility, demonstrates significant advantages in open-pit mine resource development, hazard prevention, and ecological restoration. This paper systematically reviews the evolution of UAV surveying and mapping technology, elaborates on its application workflow in open-pit mines, and summarizes nine core advantages. Concurrently, it analyzes challenges including environmental constraints, data processing bottlenecks, and regulatory gaps. Future directions are proposed across three dimensions: technological breakthroughs, application expansion, and cross-sector collaboration. By establishing a dynamic equilibrium mechanism for exploration-extraction-reclamation, UAV surveying catalyzes digital and intelligent transformation in open-pit mining, delivering innovative solutions for sustainable mineral industry development.
