Volumetric Change Calculation for a Landfill Stockpile Using UAV Photogrammetry

Abstract

The objective of this research was aimed to consider the calculation of volumetric changes calculation for a landfill stockpile using UAV photogrammetry. The case study was located at the waste landfill of Mahasarakham municipality. The process throughout this study is flight planning and arrangement before the flight, data collection using UAV, image processing, and analyzing data. This study focussed on the method to calculate the volume using DEM from UAV photogrammetry. This observation took 6 months at intervals to monitor the changes in volume at the landfill site. The results of the analysis showed that there were differences of increasing in the volume of waste each time. The result has shown that the landfill volume surveys from UAV photogrammetry can help for a better plan in managing the landfill.
