20150347637 | ILLUSTRATING ELEVATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH A MINE WORKSITE - Disclosed herein is a method and computing system for illustrating elevations in an image corresponding to an area of interest that is at least a portion of a mine worksite. The method includes determining, by a selection, a first dataset that includes a plurality of elevation values defining an elevation topography for a first area of interest. The method further includes, for each of the at least a portion of the elevation values in the first dataset, determining a corresponding colour for illustrating the elevation value according to a scale of colours. The scale spans a defined range of altitudes. Each colour in the scale is definable by a hue; and at least one parameter for influencing at least one of a lightness and a darkness of the colour. The colour scale is defined to progress through a spectrum of hues across the defined range of altitudes. The method also includes generating a first image portraying at least a 3-dimensional, non-plan view of the elevation topography for the first area of interest, illustrating the at least a portion of the elevation values of the first dataset in the corresponding determined colours. | 12-03-2015 |
