Abstract
Sensors are being used as laboratory and in-situ techniques for characterization and definition of raw material properties. However, application of sensor technologies for underground mining resource extraction is very limited and highly dependent on the geological and operational environment. In our study the potential of RGB imaging, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy and Hyperspectral imaging for the characterization of polymetallic sulphide minerals in a test case of the Reiche Zeche underground mine was investigated.
