This book discusses the latest advances and applications in geospatial technologies and earth
resources for mine surveying and civil engineering. It also discusses mineral resources
management and assesses many techniques such as unmanned aerial vehicles drones
ground-penetrating radar geographic information system (GIS) and GIS-based machine learning.
The book gathers the proceedings of the International Conference on Geo-Spatial Technologies
and Earth Resources (GTER 2017) which was co-organized by the Hanoi University of Mining and
Geology (HUMG) and the International Society for Mine Surveying (ISM) and held in Hanoi
Vietnam on October 5-6 2017. GTER 2017 is technically co-sponsored by the Vietnam Mining
Science and Technology Association (VMST) Vietnam Association of Geodesy Cartography and
Remote Sensing (VGCR) Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited
(VINACOMIN) and the Dong Bac Corporation (NECO). The event is intended to bring together
experts researchers engineers and policymakers to discuss and exchange their knowledges and
experiences with modern geospatial technologies recent advances in mining and tunneling and
the geological and earth sciences. Given its breadth of coverage the book will appeal to
scientists in the field as well as professionals interested in related technological
applications.
