Detector Technology
Gradiometer
This technology can determine if an object in the ground is metal, mineral or a cave or cavity.
The two magnetic sensors in the Gradiometer probe analyze the signals in the earth in real-time. The first sensor simply measures the positive (+) signals while the other measures the negative (-) signals. When metal is detected, the positive value increases while the negative value decreases. When caves or cavities are detected, the positive value decreases while the negative value increases. When minerals are detected, the negative value does not change as the positive value increases. Results are shown visually in an easy to understand 3D image analysis on the display.

1 – 3D Ground Scan System [GROUND SCAN]
3D ground scan system is the most powerful system for detection in Phoenix device, it is developed with a new technology incorporated in the scanner probe called Multi Ground Scanner or M.
G.S in short.
M.G.S with its unique design and large surface with multiple sensors, enable coverage and scanning of larger area in less time but with more accurate results.
3D ground scan system displays the scanning data obtained from M.G.S as 2D visualization on device screen or as 3D graphics presentation on bundled Android Tablet via Multi Visual Analyzer app as we will explain later.
After selecting the system from the main menu, the device program allowing the user to choose how to display the scan results. There are two options:
1 – Device
This option if selected enable the user to complete 3D ground scan process using device LCD screen as the results will display directly on screen, before that the user must adjust the ground scan settings that include following options:
- Mode
This option defines the method for conducting the ground scan, meaning how the measurements will be recorded at each scan point.
Here there are two modes:
- Manual: in manual mode the recording of scan measurement performed manually by the user using red button in main unit of the device.
- Automatic: in this mode, the device is responsible for taking measuring points automatically
- Path
It expresses the shape of the user’s movement path when conducting a ground scan, there are two types:
- One Direction: In this case, the scan points are recorded in each scan line in one direction. In other words, the direction of measurements recording is in a specific direction in each scan line, for example, starting from the south towards the north, and so on for each line, meaning that the start points of the scan lines are on the same side.
- Zig Zag: here the direction of measurements recording in two consecutive scan lines are in opposite direction, meaning that the start points of two consecutive scan lines are on the opposite’s sides.
- Size
It is a dimensions of virtual scanning grid made up of cells, related to the number of scan lines and points in each scan line.
It includes the following two values:
- Width: it is width or number of columns in grid, it same as scan line count.
- Height: it is height or number of rows in the grid, it equal to number of scan points
- Start Point
It is the starting point for ground scan within the pre-defined area, and one of the following two options can be chosen:
- Left: in this case the scan process starts from bottom – left corner of scan area
- Right: the ground scan will begin from bottom – right corner of area
After setting the previously explained ground scan settings, Scan tab displays a table summarizing the selected settings with a button to start scanning, and the user can press the OK button to actually start the scanning process and record the results.
During the scan process the measurement in every scan point will be presented visually on screen as 2D grid consisting of rows and columns of cells and every scan point presented as cell with 4 sub-cells in specific colors based on type of target that M.G.S hover it in this point.
The table below show the type of target for each color:
| Green | Light Blue | Blue | Yellow | Red |
| Normal Ground | Small Cavity | Cavity | metal objects | gold |
On the left side of screen near the grid, there are many values presented:
– Current X: it presents the current scan line number or current column number in grid.
– Current Y: it presents the current scan point, or current row number in grid.
– Value: a numeric value related to measurement in current scan point.
2 – Tablet
If user selected this option on device screen, first he must make a wireless connection between device and tablet, he must continue the 3D ground scan on the bundled Android tablet.
In this case the user chooses same ground scan settings as explained previously, but inside the Multi Visual Analyzer app and the ground scan data visualized as 3D graphics inside the app.
Multi Visual Analyzer app can be installed on any Android tablet or smartphone, it has a simple graphical interface available in 12 languages, it used to adjust settings of ground scan and scan data transmitted in real time from M.G.S to be presented as 3D graphics with different colors that refer to various target’s types such as metal, cavity or gold like in previous table.
Multi Visual Analyzer app include a set of tools to display the data from different viewports and tools to know the location and depth of specific target visually, and filters to filter results based on specific target types.
2 – Live Stream System [LIVE STREAM]
Live Stream scan system is powerful ground scan mode with live real-time scan of the ground and direct visualization of measurement on display screen or optionally on tablet via Multi Visual Analyzer.
The scanning process in this system carried out by a Vertical High Signal Transceiver (V.S.T) probe, a new probe with unique technology to perform deep live scan to detect different types of targets including ferrous metal, non-ferrous metal and cavities like tunnels or caves.
V.S.T installed in front of Phoenix main unit, and must be vertical, it must always be perpendicular to the ground during the scanning process.
At the end of the probe, there is a four-sided cone with two sides containing a set of luminous LEDs, whose colors change during the scanning process according to the target type.
For example: When a user moves V.S.T probe over a golden object lie a golden coin the LEDs will light up in red color, it will light up in blue when V.S.T passes over a cavity.
After selecting the Live Stream system from the main menu, the screen displays a screen to calibrate the V.S.T probe first, then move directly to live-stream screen that display a continuous stream of colors changing during scan made by V.S.T based on target type in similar way as explained for LEDs, on the right of screen a numerical value of target displayed, user here can change speed of stream.
Example: color is Red when capturing a precious metal signal and green for normal ground.
User can also display live-stream visualization on tablet via Multi Visual Analyzer, in this case he must connect the device and tablet via Bluetooth, and selecting Live Stream inside the app.
Multi Visual Analyzer app will display a changed-color stream of received scan data from V.S.T, here also the colors related to the target type in the same way.
3 – Pin Pointer System [PINPOINTER]
The Pen Pointer system is a system usually used after excavation in order to accurately locate a potential target.
The scan process is carried out here via a V.S.T probe also, and in a similar way to the live stream system, where the probe must be perpendicular to the ground as well.
Pen Pointer used to determine the presence of a metal target or cavity with the precise determination of the location in which the buried metal or cavity is located via audio feedback or visualization on screen as 2D bar graph.
In the result screen there are many settings that user can adjust:
- Sensitivity
The sensitivity value is related to adjusting the sensitivity of the captured signal through V.
S.T probe , according to this value, the visual representation of the signals and the tone of the audio output changes.
- Calibration
User can use this option to calibrate the sensor sensitivity at any time according to the ground type and the ground state.
- Reset
This option reset the calibration process to its default value.
The visual representation of received signals on device screen is a 2D bar graph.
In case of signals of metallic target such as bronze statue for example, the bar graph will be consisting of bars facing upward, of different length, with graded colors from green to red in the middle at the maximum values, and then graded towards green on sides.
If received signals are for cavities – such as a tunnel – it will be made of bars facing downwards, of different length, ranging from green to dark blue in the middle at the maximum values, and then graded towards green at lower values.
Modern Software Program

Surveying with portable laser scanners. Scanning of underground workings, clearing spaces, warehouses and embankments
Mine surveying with laser scanners. Underground workings, treatment areas, storages and embankments
A modern trend and need is the use of modern laser scanners for complex and dangerous work in the mining industry.
At the moment, mobile 3D scanners are used to build digital models of mines, calculate production volumes / chambers, determine storage volumes and track changes. Our works on the use of laser scanners in mining are presented:
Yotube Alfascaner LLC
Undeniable advantages of using portable laser scanners:
- Lightweight scanner and fast scanning. Mine surveying takes place during a bypass of a mine working, a warehouse with a scanning sensor in hand. The sensor is installed on a milestone up to 6 meters long. The range of the scanner is 100 meters. The process of taking measurements is displayed on the control device. Anyone can shoot on the go and create a digital model. Such efficiency of data acquisition makes it possible to timely and accurately determine the geometric parameters of mines and warehouses with the least risks. High detailing of survey objects allows obtaining accurate data, on the basis of which it is possible to quickly build a mine frame in programs or create a digital model, make calculations;
- Scanning does not require additional survey justification.
Coordinate referencing occurs by control points (tacheometric), which are fixed during the scanning process; - Accurate results are obtained in the most difficult conditions: dust, moisture, complete darkness, remoteness.
- A big advantage of the systems is the ability to upload point clouds to the enterprise GGIS for further use and processing.
One of the leaders in the production of portable 3D laser scanning systems and software for their use on the ground, underground and in the air is the American company Greenvalley International, which has an assembly plant in Shenzhen. Its LiBackpack 50 backpack solution is the fastest and most accurate for mining applications. LiBackpack mobile scanning solutions are widely used in mine surveying in the context of digitalization in the mining industry at mines with an underground mining method to obtain up-to-date information about the state of mine workings, treatment chambers, warehouses and other mine facilities and further adapt the results for use in the MGIS.
Our tests of portable 3D laser systems showed the highest accuracy with the least noise, the absence of parallel lines and artifacts. The company is a developer of mathematical SLAM algorithms and proprietary software, which makes it possible to achieve the longest scanning trajectory of more than 2000 meters, unlike similar systems.
LiBackpack portable laser scanner consists of lidar, control device, backpack, accessories and software. There are portable scanners with a built-in GNSS module for scanning large ground objects and a panoramic camera for detailing small objects and viewing any moment of shooting with a turn of 360 about .
Industrial design is important. To use the scanner in a mine environment, the high security of the scanner, the use of industrial LEMO connectors, special materials, a built-in fast-charging and capacious intelligent battery are required to ensure the operation of the system and automatic stitching on the go.
A digital model of an object is built using a cloud of points in specialized programs with the possibility of calculating geometric parameters: volumes, lengths, sections, etc.
The point cloud is loaded into the enterprise's GIS for further processing and use. Additional processing of laser scanning results in various software, Credo Mainframe, Surpac, etc. is possible. When conducting industrial tests, this method for determining output showed high accuracy compared to traditional methods. The undeniable advantage is the ease and speed of obtaining data. It takes 15 minutes to capture and bind an object to the local coordinate system with a length of 150 meters. Less than 1 hour for processing and receiving volumes. Large built-in memory over 500 GB.
A portable laser scanning system is a tool for obtaining operational and reliable metric information about complex objects and is the fundamental basis of the digital twin. After all, you can effectively manage what you can accurately measure. Leading mining companies in Russia, as well as the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, are already using LiBackpack.
Application of LiBackpack 50 in an underground excavation
- Rapid determination of excavation volumes
- Sectioning of tunnels
- Preparation of digital models of underground facilities for planning the location of equipment, sensors, etc.
