Abstract

See full text

The quantity of bulk material in a pile of bulk material is determined using one or more laser scanners that scan the surface of the pile. The signal generated by the scanner(s) is transmitted to a remote computation system that uses the received signals to calculate the quantity of material in the pile. The calculated quantity can be expressed as a volume, a mass or a financial value. The calculated quantity can be sent to an end user either automatically or upon receipt of a request from the end user. The remote computation system can receive and process scanning signals from scanners that mounted to scan the surfaces of different piles of bulk material. The system can also include a server local to the scanners.
