The Accuracy of Determining the Volumes Using Close Range Photogrammetry

Time and accuracy required are the two important factors that decide on the appropriateness of volume calculations for road project, mining enterprise, geological works and building applications. Geodetic surveying methods have been insufficient for the volume calculation of the objects need to calculation of volume in a short time or in a risk area. In this paper, digital close range photogrammetry is an alternative method to volume calculation. The main objective of this paper is investigated the use of close range photogrammetry to calculate the volume instead of traditional methods. This paper gives also the sequence of the field operations and computational steps for this task. A numerical example is included to reinforce the theoretical aspects.
