contents In this work, we present an autonomous inspection framework for remote sensing tasks in active open-pit mines. Specifically, the contributions are focused towards developing a methodology where an initial approximate operator-defined inspection plan is exploited by an online view-planner to predict an inspection path that can adapt to changes in the current mine-face morphology caused by route mining activities. The proposed inspection framework leverages instantaneous 3D LiDAR and localization measurements coupled with modelled sensor footprint for view-planning satisfying desired viewing and photogrammetric conditions. The efficacy of the proposed framework has been demonstrated through simulation in Feiring-Bruk open-pit mine environment and hardware-based outdoor experimental trials.
