Improving blast patterns

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying an initial blast pattern criteria;
• receiving a high speed optical video of a blast conducted in accordance with the initial blast pattern criteria;
• determining, by a machine learning model, one or more characteristics of an identified blasting region by correlating the high speed optical video with a plurality of measurements associated with the blasting region;
• and
• generating for display on a user computing device, data indicating the one or more characteristics.

A blast mining system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more tangible, non-transitory media operably connectable to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• identifying an initial blast pattern criteria;
• receiving a high speed optical video of a blast conducted in accordance with the initial blast pattern criteria;
• determining, by a machine learning model, one or more characteristics of an identified blasting region by correlating the high speed optical video with a plurality of measurements associated with the blasting region;
• and generating for display on a user computing device, data indicating the one or more characteristics.
