Guide: Volume Measurements with Leica Cyclone 3DR
How can you measure volumes in complex environments, such as silos and stockpile halls? Our detailed guide takes you through the process step-by-step while using the Elios 3 drone and Leica Cyclone 3DR.
As part of its data collection toolkit, the Elios 3 hosts a powerful LiDAR scanner also known as the Surveying Payload. It comes with a license for FARO Connect, where the point cloud from the Elios 3 can be processed and cleaned. After this, Elios 3 users can import the data to Leica Cyclone 3DR ready for careful analysis, including complex volume measurements.
In this guide authored by Flyability, we take you through the steps required for measuring the volume of stockpile halls and silos with Leica Cyclone 3DR. We take you through the import and volume workflows in Leica Cyclone 3DR, with detailed steps and example photos.
The guide is free to download and meant to serve as an example of how to combine the precision of the Elios 3 with powerful processing software. Our guide walks you through the process and explains how to adjust various settings to get your desired results. There are also best practices and tips on how to collect data with the Elios 3 in an optimal way for easy data collection and processing.
