Determination of the Cubic Volume

The service works on the principle of calculating the volume of terrain change based on surveying the terrain before and after the landscaping.

3D surfaces are created from the measured values and the cubic volumes are determined from their difference. In addition to two surveyed surfaces, it is possible to work with one surface and compare it to the designed surface (the difference between the actual and the designed surface), or to a plane with a given elevation (used when the first condition survey is missing).

Technologies Used

Aerial photogrammetry

We use unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for data collection. These are mainly suitable for more precise small to medium scale work or for vertical mapping. We mainly use the DJI Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Mavic 2 Pro, which are equipped with a high quality 20 megapixel camera. These drones can capture images with a resolution of up to 1 cm/pixel.

Laser Scanning

To determine cubic volumes in confined spaces (e.g. tunnels) or spaces unsuitable for aerial photography, we use laser scanning. It provides very high surface surveying accuracy while maintaining high data acquisition speed.

MawisPhoto

For special purposes, such as measuring small excavation volumes, the MawisPhoto service can be used.

Advantages of Cubic Volume Determination

  • Possibility of regularly observing surface changes (suitable for landfills, quarries, landscaping)
  • Possibility to control the volume of earthworks during construction
  • At a cost similar to a geodetic survey, it is possible to obtain more detailed and accurate data from the entire site at one time

Offered outputs

  • Determination of the volume of an object or defined area
  • Determination of differences in the volumes of the object or defined area compared to the design condition
  • 3D surface model:
    o Surface models of each stage
    o Partial calculations and difference surfaces against the planned state

Technologies used

DJI Phantom 4 Pro

We use this drone mainly for more precise and less extensive work, or for vertical mapping. It is equipped with a high quality 20 megapixel camera with the ability to record 4K videos.

GoPro camera

GoPro cameras for immediate use and taking documentation of buildings, both outside and inside the building. Full HD cameras for recording the sequence of images and video recording. The modern electronic service MawisPhoto will then allow the subsequent creation of 3D models.

Mobile Phone

Mobile phone for immediate use and acquisition of construction documentation, both outside and inside the building. It uses its own camera/camera to record the sequence of shots and video recording. The modern electronic service MawisPhoto will then allow the subsequent creation of 3D models.
