| contents | Minor errors in the spoil deposition process, such as placing stronger materials with higher shear strength over weaker ones, can lead to potential dump failure. Irregular deposition and inadequate compaction complicate coal spoil behaviour, necessitating a robust methodology for temporal monitoring. This study explores using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) equipped with red-green-blue (RGB) sensors for efficient data acquisition. Despite their prevalence, raw UAV data exhibit temporal inconsistency, hindering accurate assessments of changes over time. This is attributed to radiometric errors in UAV-based sensing arising from factors such as sensor noise, atmospheric scattering and absorption, variations in sun parameters, and variable characteristics of the sensed object over time. To this end, the study introduces an empirical line calibration with invariant targets, for precise calibration across diverse scenes. Calibrated RGB data exhibit a substantial performance advantage, achieving a 90.7% overall accuracy for spoil pile classification using ensemble (subspace discriminant), representing a noteworthy 7% improvement compared to classifying uncalibrated data. The study highlights the critical role of data calibration in optimising UAV effectiveness for spatio-temporal mine dump monitoring. The developed calibration workflow proves robust and reliable across multiple dates. Consequently, these findings play a crucial role in informing and refining sustainable management practices within the domain of mine waste management. |
