Abstract: A system and method for measuring material swell of material loaded in a dump vehicle using a work machine that includes a frame, an engine, a ground engaging element, a working mechanism and an imaging device. The imaging device provided on the work machine identifies the dump vehicle at a landscape site, and scans the site and the dump vehicle continuously using continuous 3D mapping. The imaging device scans continuously during operation of the work machine as the work machine removes a load of material from the bank of landscape or site with the working mechanism and transfers the load into the dump vehicle. The imaging device calculates the bank volume of the load removed from the site and the excavated volume of the load transferred in the dump vehicle to determine the material swell of the load as the work machine operates.
