Randomized trial demonstrates accurate volume estimation for irregular stockpiles, suggesting a reliable engineering tool.

This study aims to enhance accuracy in stockpile volume estimation using LiDAR technology.
Developed a LiDAR-based workflow integrated with Robot Operating System for processing point clouds.
Implemented multi-station scanning, point cloud registration, and layered slicing for volume calculations.
Validated the method through controlled, verification, and field experiments.
Achieved a field measurement of 124.93 m3 compared to 130–135 m3 with manual techniques.
Reduced processing time by over 80%, leading to lower labor costs and improved safety.
Showed strong agreement between theoretical volumes and measured volumes in controlled experiments.

Chen et al. (2026) studied this question.
