Measure volumes and levels from the terrain model

From the same survey with heights: volume of stockpiles, silage clamps and manure heaps, and a check of rice paddy levelling.

Land levelling with cut and fill in cubic metres

The terrain model from the drone measures what the eye can only estimate. Agronix calculates the volume of stockpiles, silage clamps and manure heaps and checks the levelling of rice paddy basins, with the cut and fill needed.

Volumes

Calculate the volume of stockpiles and clamps

You trace the perimeter at the foot of the pile; the base is the plane through the foot or a given elevation. Agronix returns net volume, maximum height and warnings on doubtful cases.

  • Net volume and maximum height
  • Base at the foot or at a fixed elevation
  • Stockpiles, silage clamps, manure heaps

Levelling

Check rice paddy levelling

The terrain model in one-metre cells is compared with a horizontal plane or with the field's slope: Agronix shows the share of the area within ±2.5, 5 and 10 cm, cut and fill and the contour lines.

  • Cell-by-cell differences in centimetres
  • Cut, fill and contour lines
  • GeoTIFF of the differences
