Abstract. Rapid and accurate volume calculation is one of the most important requirements in many applications such as construction and mining industries. The accuracy of a calculated volume depends on the number of collected points on the object. Increasing the number of measured points undoubtedly requires higher cost and time. On the other hand, collecting surveying points might sometimes be difficult, dangerous or impossible. The aim of this study is to evaluate the close range photogrammetry (CRP) using a non-professional camera for DEM generation in comparison to the traditional field surveying technique (TST). For this purpose, a test area in Deralok hydropower planet site was considered and the process of DEM extraction in both methods was compared. The obtained results showed that although the CRP method in contrast with TST method was more time consuming, however, this method was able to successfully measure negative slops and berms and, consequently, calculated more accurate volume. Moreover, the relative error of 0.2% was reported.
