    03. Fixed LiDAR Scanning for Stockpile volume monitoring

    The fixed LiDAR stockpile measurement system can be installed indoor or outdoor. The installation location of the lidar is determined by the shape, size and characteristics of the stockpile, and it is necessary to ensure that the scanning range of the lidar can cover the entire target object and acquire sufficient point cloud data. To ensure the measurement accuracy, the distance between the lidar and the target object, the angle and the obstruction should also be considered. The lidar should be stably fixed to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the measurement. Suitable brackets and fixing devices can be used to ensure the stable installation of the lidar as well.
