The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of the Digitora software to obtain piling factors. Thus, stacks of eucalyptus wood were piled up manually on the soil. After the analyses, it was verified that: a) the Digitora software provided precise piling factor estimates; b) there was a slight tendency towards overestimating the factors by Digitora; c) the operator training related to classification of the points on the photographs in Digitora is an essencial condition for obtaining precise piling factor estimates; d) the photographs should always be taken with activated flash and ZOOM.
