A good practice, if you are mapping with the intention of measuring volume, is to fly the map in tiers, one mission at 200 feet and one at 75, for example. Also, It can be helpful to supplement overhead flight with a few oblique images to capture details on the sides of stockpiles or benches. Please review our guide for Making Successful Map in order to improve map quality moving forward.
