mission challenge
Dramatic changes in terrain · High accuracy requirements
Open-pit mining results in rapid changes in terrain, making it difficult for traditional manual measurements to meet the accuracy of monthly reserve audits.
The customer needs centimeter-level volume measurement and comparison with historical point clouds to generate reports on mining volume and remaining reserves.
solution
DX-H6HL + Heavy Duty LiDAR
DX-H6HL is equipped with industry-grade LiDAR, covering the entire mine pit in a single flight and outputting high-density point clouds.
The volume change is calculated using point cloud difference from the previous issue, and the results are verified by a third-party audit process.
