DronesWorks - Aerial Data For Stockpile Survey

Discussing drone data for stockpile volume estimation.
Virtual surveyor makes it a lot easier!
If you're currently doing this the traditional way, we'd love to show you how we do it with drones, saving your site engineers time.

so how accurate is the stockpile measurement?

[@droneworksuk]

The data itself has an RMSE of 3cm, using GCP, check points and RTK drone, but the volume calculations are generally within 3% of laser scan or total station, whilst being much quicker and safer.
Accuracy of the volume does tend to depend on the shape of the heap, but always within the required tolerances for material management.

@@droneworksuk Ok Thank you. I am going to test it out on a stockpile with a known volume. Very interesting stuff

[@droneworksuk]

That's great! Let me know the results!

[@obaidawan9174]

nice work dear ,can u plz tells what kind of software u used for this work

[@droneworksuk]

Thanks. This was a P4RTK using DJI Pilot. Data was processed using Agisoft Metashape. DEM was cleaned and stockpile volumes calculated in Virtual Surveyor.

@@droneworksuk Great work. Curious, is there a reason why you didn’t use either drone deploy of pix4d for it all?

[@albertmukiza9174]

Hi, where can i buy this drone and software at cheapest prices

[@droneworksuk]

We use DJI Equipment from authorised dealers.

😃 👏 👏 👏

[@obaidawan9174]

can we install software from google

[@seeking_life3747]

Cost please

[@harshithgowda9885]

Instead of showing the stockpile in the whole video, u could have shown the procedure for processing..

[@droneworksuk]

Maybe in a future video 🙃

[@abdelhadishalapy9783]

Can you send me this program please

[@SvSzYT]

Did you use RTK ?

[@droneworksuk]

Yes, RTK and GCP's / Checkpoints so we can validate accuracy.

[@harshithgowda9885]

Which software has been used..??

[@droneworksuk]

Virtual Surveyor was used to do the final stockpile measurments.

[@marinomazor.adventures]

@@droneworksuk hi, why did you use VS and not Agisoft for meassures?

[@droneworksuk]

@@marinomazor.adventures VS provides better tools for removing objects from terrain such as machinery and also has better feature extraction making the volumes both more accurate and easier to calculate.
VS also has a nice volume report creation 👍

[@marinomazor.adventures]

@@droneworksuk Tnx!

Thank you both for asking & answering this question! Was wondering if there was another software other than Pix4D for drone mapping. Cheers!
