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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
