摘要
The image sequences from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are used to calculate the engineering volume (overburden amount, stacking amount, etc.) of open-pit mine. Firstly, two sets of video frames or optical images of the open-pit mine are collected with a time interval using a portable digital camera installed on an octocopter. Next, two groups of the point clouds are automatically generated by implementing structure from motion (SfM) and patch-based multi-view stereo (PMVS) algorithms. And then, the two point clouds are fine registered with a constant region-based registration method. Finally, the engineering volume is computed with a differential method for digital terrain model triangulated irregular network (DTM-TIN). It shows that the relative error of the point cloud model is lower than ±1% in the experiment for change detection of a stacking stockpile with UAV images. Moreover, the accuracy for monitoring the volume change is up to 92%, which is comparable to that of a terrestrial laser scanning. © 2016, Editorial Department of Journal of Northeastern University.
