PHOTOGRAMMETRIC SURVEY OF OPEN PIT MINE

There is a geodetic department in Ugljevik Coal Mine. In addition to all tasks(expropriation, geometry control of existing engineering objects, monitoring oflandslides, etc.), the primary task of the geodetic service is to calculate the volume of theexcavated masses on a surface mine during a certain period of time. In the early periodof exploitation, classical geodetic methods of survey were applied, and for the pasttwenty years, the data obtained by the GPS survey were used to calculate the amount ofexcavated mass. The paper presents the calculation of the amount of mass in the GlobalMapper software package based on the processed photogrammetric images made by theunmaned aerial vehicle.
