Abstract
Provided is a method in which an excavation surface is scanned, the excavation surface shape is determined based on scanned excavation surface, an excavating path is identified from a mining excavation equipment, a volume of a material excavated by the mining excavation equipment is actively calculated based at least on the excavation surface shape and the excavating path of the mining excavating equipment, and a weight of the material excavated by the mining excavating equipment is actively calculated based on at least one density factor.
