Volumetric Estimates

Track visible stockpile quantities, material changes, and estimated cut-and-fill differences using aerial imagery and photogrammetric surface models. These approximate, non-certified volume estimates support internal inventory and operational planning.

Products for this service

Volume Estimate Report

Estimated stockpile quantities or cut-and-fill differences calculated from selected visible boundaries and suitable reference surfaces. Results are approximate, non-certified, and intended for internal inventory and operational planning.

Available Export Options: PDF report (.pdf) — Easy-to-open document for sharing and printing.CSV quantities (.csv) — Quantity tables for Excel and inventory tracking.

High-resolution color aerial map

One detailed overhead view of the whole captured site.

Available Export Options: JPEG + KML overlay (.jpg / .kml) — Shareable image with a Google Earth overlay.High-Resolution GeoTIFF (.tif / .tiff) — Located map imagery for ArcGIS or QGIS.PDF Site Map (.pdf) — Easy-to-open document for sharing and printing.

Surface elevation map

Colors show relative heights of visible surfaces, including trees and buildings.

Numerical elevation surface

Modeled surface heights for compatible technical software; not automatically bare earth.

Available Export Options: Elevation DEM (.tif) — Elevation values for GIS and terrain analysis.

Technical scope and subscription eligibility require confirmation before quoting.

Contour map

Lines connect equal modeled heights to communicate surface changes.

Available Export Options: DXF Contours (.dxf) — Contour lines for CAD and construction software.SHP Contours (.shp) — Contour lines for GIS and terrain planning.

Technical scope and subscription eligibility require confirmation before quoting.

Point cloud data

Reconstructed three-dimensional points for technical workflows.

Available Export Options: LAS (.las) — 3D points for CAD, GIS, and site modeling.XYZ (.xyz) — Text-based 3D points for construction and mining software.

Technical scope and subscription eligibility require confirmation before quoting.

Delivered files. Optional online access.

Supported exports of all products in your approved service scope are included. There are no product-count or file-format overage charges. Additional analysis outside that scope is quoted separately.

Optional DroneDeploy access

Viewing access: $99. Editable access with supported exports: $1,499 annually for one client seat and 12 months of access. Viewing is an add-on to delivered files. The annual editable workspace is a separate self-service delivery option. Viewing duration and account permissions are confirmed in your quote; annual renewal requires a separate agreement.

RTK improves positioning consistency, not image resolution. Surface models are not automatically bare-earth terrain or certified survey measurements. RGB comparisons are not NDVI or a diagnosis. Volumes require an identified reference surface; design cut/fill requires additional inputs and custom review.
