WorldDEM™ Neo - WorldDEM™

The next level of global Elevation Data

Whatever your area of interest, wherever in the world, enjoy fast and easy access to WorldDEM™ Neo and WorldDEM™.

The most accurate global satellite-based digital elevation models available today.

With unique data quality and level of detail, both elevation models facilitate a wide range of applications such as line-of-sight analysis, hydrological modelling, satellite imagery orthorectification, and much more.

Worldwide availability makes them the most robust reference layers for risk assessments and investigating global phenomena.

Accuracy of a new dimension and unique data quality for all global applications

WorldDEM Neo sets a new standard for global Elevation models in terms of resolution and up-to-date, fresh data acquisitions (2017-2021), combined with high quality and accuracy from the well-established WorldDEM.

Up-to-date global coverage (pole-to-pole)
Very high resolution: 5m pixel spacing for every spot on Earth
Very high vertical accuracy (2m relative / 2.5m absolute)
Off-the shelf availability

Key features

	WorldDEM Neo	WorldDEM
Resolution	5m pixel spacing for every spot on earth	12m pixel spacing for every spot on earth
Accuracy	Unrivalled accuracies of 2m relative and 2.5m absolute vertical
Coverage	Homogeneous, seamless, pole-to-pole coverage
Avaibility	Globally off-the-shelf available

Like all our elevation products, WorldDEM products are available as:

DSM = Edited Digital Surface Model including editing of terrain features and with assured hydrological consistency
DTM: Derived from the WorldDEM™ Digital Surface Model (DSM) product by removing vegetation and man-made objects to show the bare terrain of the Earth’s surface.

This high-quality Digital Terrain Model (DTM) provides a foundation layer for applications such as civil engineering (e.g. road design, Earth work calculation), the management of natural resources as well as planning and implementation of military operations (e.g. vehicle trafficability analysis, 3D terrain visualisation).

What our customers say

"The Airbus Defence and Space WorldDEMTM Neo enables us to extract a digital canopy height model when combined with our own (patented) digital terrain model, with sufficient accuracy for many forestry applications. The lower canopy penetration of the X-band SAR compared to other SAR solutions, and the off-the-shelf global coverage, make it a very attractive solution for our SkyForestTM forestry applications. We are very happy to partner with Airbus on WorldDEMTM Neo ."

PASSAGES - Or Planning of Radar Tower Locations in the Northwest Passage with WorldDEM

The Northwest Passage, the connection between the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, is approximately 5,780km long. It runs through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and is a complex winding maze of channels, bays, and straits that pass through often ice-choked Arctic waters, an area virtually impassable in the past. However in recent years, due to climate change, both commercial and leisure traffic are now able to pass through this region.

Sustainable Hydropower Programme Feasibility Study in Indonesia with WorldDEM DTM

The Indonesian State Electricity Company aims to implement a sustainable hydropower programme to meet Indonesia’s rising electricity demand.

The Metaverse Requires Very High Resolution, Spatially Accurate, Timely Geospatial Data

‘Metaverse’ is a catch-all term that describes a fully immersive, virtual 3D world where visitors can interact with their surroundings and each other, often through the use of VR headsets or advanced visualization and simulation software. The most prominent variations of this definition hinge on whether the created worlds are representations of reality, fiction, or something in between.
