Laser scanning offers timely assessments of mine sites despite challenges posed by operational environments. This article explores advancements in 3D scanning systems, data capture and processing techniques, and their primary applications in underground mining, using JSW SA mines as an example. While laser scanning has matured for tasks such as change detection, clearance measurements, and structure mapping, opportunities for enhancement exist in areas such as lithology identification, surface parameter measurements, and autonomous navigation. Limited infrastructure for data transfer and processing remains a constraint; however, laser scanners are increasingly pivotal in mine automation due to their affordability, accuracy, and mobility. Until recently, laser scanning was considered more of a curiosity than a mainstream measuring method. In Poland, creating maps for land surveying based on point clouds generated by laser scanners remains uncommon. Nevertheless, technological advances over the past decade have made surveyors, designers, architects, and conservators of historical monuments increasingly inclined and capable of utilizing point clouds generated by stationary scanners, which offer evergreater measurement accuracy. This article outlines how laser scanning, as an innovative measurement technique, has been integrated into the mining industry, particularly for shaft monitoring purposes.
