wireframe modeling, implicit modeling, reserve estimation, mineral resources, comparative analysisAbstract
The article aims to compare the main algorithms and results of explicit and implicit modeling in the Micromine software. Conducting a quantitative analysis of both methods' outcomes will determine their accuracy and suitability for practical use in geological exploration and further deposit development. The article discusses the methodology of applying each approach and provides a comparative analysis to identify the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The research findings can be valuable for geologists and mining enterprises using Micromine for geological modeling and mineral reserve estimation. Additionally, it examines the potential for integrating both methods and suggests further avenues for research to enhance modeling accuracy and efficiency.
