An open challenge for the remote sensing community is to explore a fast, accurate and low-cost method to monitor the open-pit mining. For this purpose, the authors selected the Shouyun iron mine as the case study. Firstly, the authors implemented field campaigns and data acquisition of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) in August 2014 and October 2016. Secondly, the authors generated high-resolution of the digital surface model (DSM) and digital orthophoto map (DOM) by using UAV structure from motion (SfM) technology. Finally, the volumetric changes of reserves were calculated by using the algorithm of DSM of difference (DoD), and then multiplied by the average of ore-bearing rate, density of iron ore and ore grade to obtain the mined tonnage. The result shows that the UAV and SfM technology could be a fast and accurate solution for monitoring the reserves of open-pit mines. This study provides a new idea for dynamic monitoring of reserves and environment in open-pit mine.
