A system. The system includes an apparatus and a computing system. The apparatus is couplable to a mobile platform and includes a sensing device and/or a camera. The computing system includes an anchor module configured to define a plurality of virtual anchors associated with a subterranean structure; a movement determination module configured to determine a movement of at least one of the virtual anchors, and a movement classification module configured to determine a type of subterranean structure movement based on the determined movement of the at least one of the virtual anchors. The type of subterranean structure movement comprises convergence, subsidence, movement along a fault line, cross-sectional movement, longitudinal movement and/or hidden movement.

System and method for measuring geometric change in a subterranean structure

A system for measuring geometric change in a subterranean structure. The system includes an apparatus communicably couplable to a computing system. The apparatus is couplable to a mobile platform and includes a sensor configured to acquire data representative of a geometry of the subterranean structure and/or a camera configured to capture images of an interior of the subterranean structure, and a processing circuit. The computing system includes at least one processor, a 3D generator module configured to generate a digital three-dimensional model of the subterranean structure, an anchor module configured to define a plurality of digital anchors associated with the subterranean structure; a movement determination module configured to determine a movement of at least one of the digital anchors, and a movement classification module configured to determine a type of movement within the subterranean structure based on the determined movement of the at least one of the digital anchors.
