Elevation1 & 4 - Highly Precise Altrimetric Information

Elevation1 & 4 key features:

Accurate: Based on matching of very high resolution optical stereo imagery
Two Models: Digital Surface Models (DSM) including the "first surface" elevations & Digital Terrain Models (DTM) representing the bare Earth elevation available

Compliant: Suitable to HRE40 (E4) / HRE10 (E1) standards (military standards (NGA))
Tailored: Production on demand for your Area of Interest

Your advantages with Elevation1 & 4:

Elevation4 ideally suited for any kind of relief (urban or environmental)

Elevation1 ideally suited for any areas with little vegetation and / or no buildings

Production on demand for your Area of Interest

WorldDEM™ - The New Standard of Global Elevation Models

Complete pole-to-pole coverage coupled with an unrivalled accuracy and quality are the defining characteristics of WorldDEM™.

The accuracy surpasses that of any global satellite-based elevation model available today and provides a reliable and precise reference layer to enhance a wide range of applications.

WorldDEM™ key features:

Pole-to-pole: Global homogeneity
Highly consistent dataset: Data collected within 3 years only

Accurate: 2m (relative) / 4m (absolute) vertical accuracy in a 12m x 12m raster

Two Models: Digital Surface Models (DSM) including the "first surface" elevations & Digital Terrain Models (DTM) representing the bare Earth elevation available

Your advantages with WorldDEM™:

Standardised DEM for any spot on Earth at the same quality

Allows closing gaps with high accuracy in areas where no adequate DEM exists to-date (cf. SRTM)

Improve the performance of globally operating navigation systems and applications

Elevation8 - Large-Area DEMs at a High Accuracy

Elevation8 is derived from SPOT 6 and SPOT 7 stereo and tri-stereo optical satellite data and provides an optimised fit for the needs of mapping or oil & gas applications, particularly when large-area coverage is required.

The satellite’s optimised combination of wide-area coverage and high-resolution image acquisition, supports the rapid collection of imagery and delivery of products. The models are available tailored exactly to your Area of Interest starting at a minimum of just 1,000km².

Elevation8 key features:

Accurate: Based on matching of high resolution optical stereo or tri stereo imagery, up to 3m vertical accuracy at 8m posting

Two Models: Digital Surface Models (DSM) including the "first surface" elevations & Digital Terrain Models (DTM) representing the bare Earth elevation available

Tailored: Production on-demand for your Area of Interest
Compliant: Suitable to HRE80 (military standard (NGA)) specifications

Your advantages with Elevation8:

Available anywhere in the world and suitable for large areas

Ideally suited for mapping, hydrology and exploration
