Abstract A 3D profile apparatus 10 for train wagons 12 comprises a plurality of 3D 5 image sensors 14 mounted above the rail track 16 to provide 3D images of the wagon 12 below. When the individual images are fused together they provide a complete panoramic three dimensional picture of a wagon profile. The 3D profile apparatus 10 also comprises a data processing apparatus 20 for processing the 3D images produced by the 3D image sensors 14 to 10 generate a 3D profile of the train wagon 12. The data processing apparatus 20 comprises a 3D wagon profile recorder 26 and a 3D wagon profile fill controller 28. Four 3D image sensors 14a, 14b, 14e and 14f are connected to the 3D wagon profile recorder 26, and two more 3D image sensors 14c and 14d are connected to the 3D wagon profile fill controller 28. The 3D 15 profile of the train wagons includes a load profile of the wagon 12a when it is filled with ore, a dynamic measurement of a load in the wagon 12b during the loading process, as well as a wagon profile of an empty wagon 12c. 20 Drawing suggested to accompany the Abstract: Figure 2
