7 Reasons to Use Drill Core Photography Software
Are you taking pictures of your drill core using traditional tools? Most mid-tier and large mining operations today capture images of their drill core in some way. Usually this involves taking pictures of the core using a smartphone or DSLR camera and transferring...
Capturing a 3D Shape of a Core and Geotechnical Measurements
We were able to get our hands on a Dot Products DPI-8X handheld 3D scanner recently and tested it to see if we could capture a 3-dimensional image of a core and calculate some geotechnical and volumetric measurements quickly and accurately. The video below illustrates...
Are Scaled Paper Logs for Geologists Dead?
Are printed paper logs for geologists on their way out? Has their usefulness been surpassed by better technologies? Here at Imago we’ve been asking ourselves those questions, and thus have been working on augmenting (and possibly replacing) scaled logs that...
Refining The Big Picture of Your Geoscientific Data
I recently saw a post on LinkedIn (apologies to the author but I can no longer find the reference to link it) with the observation that as geologists we sometimes miss the big picture of how geologic systems work. The author used an art installation in Fremantle, WA,...Featured Posts

Capturing a 3D Shape of a Core and Geotechnical Measurements
In some circumstances you want to capture a photograph of the core as soon as it is removed from the drill rod so you can preserve its features intact. The challenge was not only the powerful winds at the site but also the changes in sunlight during the day. Read more
