Convex hull is defined by a set of planes (point on plane, plane normal). I also know the plane intersections points which form polygons on each face.

How to calculate volume of convex hull?

Since you have the plane intersections too, It is equivalent to the volume of a polyhedron. (the fact that yours is convex doesn't matter).
