Aerial photogrammetry and 3D modeling for more profitable mining

We control earthworks, calculate volumes, and monitor critical zones using drones, LiDAR sensors, and precise geospatial reports with ArcGIS — reducing human exposure and easing environmental compliance.

Pixel Mining addresses the main challenges of volumetric control, operational safety, and environmental compliance in mining through aerial photogrammetry, LiDAR sensors, 3D modeling, and GIS technology.

CHALLENGES VS. SMART SOLUTIONS

Precision Prospecting and Topography

We carry out automated aerial surveys using photogrammetry or LiDAR, tied to the national geodetic network, generating Digital Terrain Models (DTM), Surface Models (DSM), orthomosaic maps, and contour lines for prospecting and mining operations control.

30 minutes to survey 50 hectares
Information ready for ArcGIS, AutoCAD, and Revit
Slope, distance, and area calculations

Volumetric and Stockpile Control

Precise geometric measurements to determine the amount of material in inventory and the volumes extracted per period — irrefutable information for procurement, invoicing, and accounting transparency.

Precision: Over 99% in volume calculation
• Files: Classified point clouds (.LAS, .LAZ)

Prevención de Riesgos (HSE) y Diagnóstico de Taludes

Monitoring and digitalization of critical zones to prevent collapses, assess landslide risk, and monitor operational perimeters or tailings deposits.

99% less fall risk at different levels during data capture
Early detection of instability or landslides, and mapping of flood-prone areas

Environmental Control and Documentation

Data collection to support environmental permit compliance, watershed monitoring, mine closure/rehabilitation plan tracking, and technical support for audits or arbitration.

Monitoring of watersheds and buffer zones
Documentation for permits and audits

Deliverables for mining operations management

Field-captured information is transformed into orthomosaics, 3D models, point clouds, digital terrain models, and inventory reports to calculate volumes, analyze slopes, and support mine planning.

Precise data and geospatial information for better decision-making

Applications
