Question

Scrooge McDuck hires you to complete an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetric survey of his gold brick pile. You produce a cross-sectional elevation profile of his gold that looks like the figure below. The ends of the gold pile are vertical and the elevation of the gold pile at the base is known (no error) Conveniently, each pixel produced by the UAV photo is 10 cm times 10 cm and the precision specification is +/- 10 cm in each of the X Y Z directions. Each brick has a the dimension of 10 cm times 10 cm times 10 cm Each brick is worth $10.000. The length of gold pile (y-axis. into the page) as indicated by the UAV survey is 10.0 m.

Explanation / Answer

Number of Pixels in x-z plane = 16+14+12+10=52

Number of Pixels along the y-axis or in y-z plane=10m/10cm=100

Hence, total number of Pexels = 52*100 = 5200

And thus, total worth = 5200*10,000=us 52,000,000=us 52Million
