This study aims to analyze a comparison of coal stockpile volumes using the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) method versus the truck count method at PT. Mitra Barito. Data collection was conducted through aerial photography using a UAV at altitudes of 60 meters and 70 meters, as well as Ground Control Point (GCP) measurements using GPS. The aerial imagery data was processed using photogrammetry software to generate orthophotos and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), followed by a geometric accuracy test based on the Geospatial Information Agency Regulation No. 6 of 2018, using the Circular Error 90% (CE90) and Linear Error 90% (LE90) parameters. The research results show that high-quality processing at an altitude of 60 meters yields a CE90 value of 2.1619 meters and an LE90 value of 4.3656 meters, thereby meeting the accuracy standards for RBI maps at a scale of 1:5,000, Class 3 for horizontal accuracy, and a scale of 1:10,000, Class 3 for vertical accuracy. Volume calculations of the stockpile using UAVs yielded a result of 22,750.900 m³, while the truck count method produced a volume of 23,503.300 m³. The volume difference between the two methods was 753.400 m³, with a deviation percentage of 3.2%. Based on the research results, the UAV method is considered capable of providing relatively accurate calculations of coal stockpile volume.
