Abstract

This paper describes the workflow and results for Particle Size Distribution (PSD) analysis using UAV photogrammetry for waste rockfill materials. A methodology for digital detection and statistical measurement of PSD derived from UAV-SfM photogrammetry is presented. The comparative results between field and digital measurements indicate that the average deviation, and standard deviation between the manually and digitally particle size vary between 12.3 mm and 49.9 mm for the field measurements and 16.9 mm and 52.5 mm for UAV in the different materials. PSD estimated using conventional and image processing shows a 4 mm an average difference between the measurements showing the potential use of the UAV technology and image processing to estimate PSD, leading to implement as standard practice aerial photogrammetry as an alternative to conventional sieve analysis for PSD estimation.
