The process of using a drone to measure stockpiles begins with flying the drone to capture aerial images. The drone can determine its own flight path—all that’s required is for the remote pilot to input a few variables about the area being flown like GPS data or ground control points (GCP method). From there, the data is uploaded into software that can turn it into a 3-D model. Once the drone data is uploaded and processed, we calculate the volume and can calculate tonnage, cost, and other metrics about the stockpiles.

Digital elevation models can be extremely useful. They are a great way to model a surface for a wide range of applications like construction site planning. Also referred to as digital terrain models (DTM) or digital surface models (DSM), digital elevation models give you a 3D representation of a surface. During operations, the drone will need to take hundreds of photos at the correct intervals and overlap ratios in order to “stitch” them together into a single large photo a.k.a. an orthomosaic. The same algorithms that are responsible for creating the orthomosaic can create a three-dimensional digital surface.
