volumes on the basis of aerial imagery. Kaz Minerals has proven that UAV-based measurements are not only faster but geodetic accuracies are also even higher when measurements are taken from a UAV.
VOLUME CALCULATIONS Volume calculations are performed on the basis of the DSM. Te difference between the base elevation of a pile and the pile elevation is the cut volume – when the terrain is higher than the base. Fill volume is the volume between the base and the terrain when the terrain is lower than the base. Te total volume is the sum of cut volume and fill volume.
CLIENT ASSESSMENT Kaz Minerals stated that the QuestUAV system greatly improved the surveying work at the mining site in terms of: improved worker safety; higher efficiency; increased site development productivity; and higher accuracies of the geodetic work. Today, UAV surveys are the basis for all further work related to developing the mining site, including engineers, planners and geologists.
