Mine Vision Systems provides underground 3D capture and spatial-intelligence systems for mining operations. FaceCapture produces georeferenced maps and operational data close to the production face, supporting planning, reconciliation and safer measurement.
About
Mine Vision Systems was founded in 2015 from technology developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s National Robotics Engineering Center with early support from Gold Fields. The Pittsburgh company commercialised underground computer vision and localization methods designed to work where GNSS and conventional survey workflows are constrained.
Its FaceCapture system brings dense, georeferenced 3D capture into routine production workflows rather than treating scanning as a specialist, delayed survey exercise. Mine teams use the resulting geometry and imagery for face mapping, short-interval control, design reconciliation and exposure reduction. MVS has progressed from consulting and development projects into a recurring product business used by major mine operators. The company is tracked as spatial-intelligence infrastructure: its systems inform mining decisions and automation, but it is not itself a haulage or excavation robot OEM.
