Revolutionary tech solution monitors stockpiles in real-time and deliver unprecedented transparency
From the world’s agricultural centres to the largest mine sites, VERIDAPT real-time solutions are deployed to improve the way stockpile inventory is monitored, managed and safeguarded.
VERIDAPT’s innovative LIDAR-generated image and measurement technology is deployed within 48 hours to provide real-time images of any size stockpile. This represents a major leap from existing solutions, which only allow for periodic or adhoc physical inspections.
VERIDAPT’s real-time monitoring technology delivers transparency and continuous visibility of agricultural and other commodities stockpiles, mitigating the risk of misappropriation and fraud.
Stitching
Joining images from various sensors in different locations and orientations. The colour comes from cameras, merging lidar data and camera data for richer scan.
Filtering
The data inside the relevant bin is then extracted based on algorithms to concentrate on an area of interest.
Removing artefacts
Artefacts that can affect the volume calculation are removed and estimated. E.g. small gaps, or the filling artefact above the pile.
Estimating blind regions
The large gaps in the data where the sensor cannot see are then filled in. This is done by using the visible data to predict the pile shape in the blind regions.
Comparison
Captured data versus blind-spot prediction (at boundaries). The image shows how the system with only one lidar/camera kit can accurately estimate the surface of blind spots.
Estimate volume
The volume of the processed surface is then estimated relative to the ground and the surrounding walls.
Comparison
Raw data overlaid with processed data to improve the model with every new scan.
