001 - Overview

What is Volumetric Assessment?

Understanding the terms and appropriate uses is essential for achieving the right outcome for your project.

Pix4D is a Swiss company that develops a suite of software products that use photogrammetry and computer vision algorithms to transform RGB, thermal and multispectral images into 3D maps and models.

Volumetric assessments provides critical insights across various industries by accurately measuring and analysing volumes of materials and spaces.

What are the differences between LiDAR & Photogrammetry?

Volumetric surveys undertaken by UAVs allow for fast, efficient data capture with minimal disruption to site activities, which can be conducted with multiple imaging technologies.

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry can produce highly dense point clouds, ideal as a basis for volumetric analysis, and with minimal hardware and processing time. Learn More.

LiDAR

LiDAR scanners usually have an additional attribute – intensity – which may include information such as texture or roughness of a surface. Learn More.

002 - Advantages

What are the key strengths of Volumetric Assessments?

Harness the power of technology for superior planning, monitoring, and decision-making in your projects.

What are the main benefits of Volumetric Assessments?

Point clouds form the basis of a Volumetric Assessment, and are precursors to several different types of 3D and 2.5D model products such as DTMs & DSMs.

Accurate Stockpile Measurement

Analyse precise volume calculations of materials like soil, aggregate, or waste, ensuring efficient inventory management and cost control.

Reduced Risk & Non-Intrusive

Volumetric reports can be quickly generated by using UAVs to fly over the site with minimal disruption to site operations in comparison to traditional methods.

Comprehensive Coverage

UAV-based scanners can capture material stockpiles from all angles, minimising model estimation and leading to the highest accuracies possible.
