Abstract
A method for determining a characteristic of a construction material is provided. The method includes imaging the construction material and determining a characteristic of the construction material based off of the imaging.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one material interacting device configured to optically interact with a void excavated in a construction material for determining one or more measurements thereof;
- computer hardware configured to:
- manipulate a plurality of the measurements to determine a dimensional characteristic of the void;
- determine mass of material excavated to form the void;
- determine moisture content of the construction material;
- and determine a material characteristic of the construction material prior to excavation of the void based on the dimensional characteristic of the void, the mass of the excavated construction material, the moisture content of the construction material, or combinations thereof.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one material interacting device configured to optically interact with a void excavated in a construction material for determining one or more measurements thereof;
- computer hardware configured to:
- manipulate a plurality of the measurements to determine a volumetric characteristic of the void;
- determine mass of construction material excavated to form the void;
- and
- determine a material characteristic of the construction material prior to excavation of the void based on the volumetric characteristic of the void and the mass of the excavated construction material;
- and
- a template for engaging with the construction material for guiding the excavation and referencing an imaging of the void.
