According to Canada's_x000D_
Economic Action Plan, the energy and mining sector provides over $30 billion a year in revenue to_x000D_
governments-money that supports critical social programs such as health care, education, and public pensions._x000D_
Canada has a global responsibility to develop and utilize its mineral resources sustainably and optimally._x000D_
One of the important steps of the underground mining projects is the stope monitoring and modeling._x000D_
Analyzing stope monitoring data and modeling underground excavations is started with mesh generation on the_x000D_
data point sets. Current mesh generation methods and applications do not work accurately and pose errors in_x000D_
modeling and design calculation such as mining volume calculation that is very important in underground mine_x000D_
planning and scheduling._x000D_
The main goal of this research is proposing an approach for watertight mesh generation for stope monitoring_x000D_
data. Specifically, a technique will be developed to overcome the identified drawbacks by investing mesh_x000D_
generation methods._x000D_
During the course of this project, analytical and numerical methods will be employed to examine the mesh_x000D_
generation methods for stope monitoring data. To achieve the best approach, the competency of mesh_x000D_
generation method can be increased by engaging the concavity coefficient of data with the meshing method. In_x000D_
addition, an optimization method would be employed to optimize the proposed meshing approach for stope_x000D_
monitoring data._x000D_
This project will be completed with guidance from industry experts at Flairbase Inc. It will provide detailed_x000D_
training on topics related to underground stope optimization and design and will include as its major_x000D_
deliverable a computer algorithm that can be applied in underground mines' stope monitorings., program purpose french : The Canadian mining industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in North America. According to Canada's_x000D_
