Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) 

We can provide two basic types of DEM:  Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) describing "bare-earth" terrain, and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) describing "full-featured" surfaces that include vegetation and infrastructural features.  We are experienced with ...

  • data format conversion,
  • horizontal and vertical datum adjustment,
  • interpolation applied to:  resolution reduction,  no-data-hole fillingfeature removal,  contour generation,
  • cartography,  3D Geo-animation,  and comprehensive GIS implementation services

with the following data sources ...

  • GTOPO30,  Global Topography with 30 arc second ( ~1,000 m) DTM with a vertical accuracy of LE90 = 30 m.  Archive coverage is Global.
     
  • SRTM,  (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) 3 arc second (~ 93 m) DTM with a vertical accuracy of LE90 = 16 m.  Archive coverage is Global.
     
  • Stereo Satellite Imagery,  DTM and DSM options with spatial resolution ranging from 3 m to 30 m and vertical accuracy ranging from LE90 = 3 m to 10 m.  Global archive coverage from ASTER only, DEMs derived from all other systems may likely require special tasking.
     
  • NED,  (National Elevation Dataset):  1 arc second (10 m) DTM with an overall vertical accuracy of LE90 = 5 m.  Archive coverage includes all US territories.
     
  • Lidar,  (Light Detection and Ranging):  DTM and DSM options with sub-meter spatial resolution and vertical accuracy down to LE90 = 15 cm.  Limited commercial and public archives.  Project tasking likely.
     
  • Sonar,  (Sound Navigation and Ranging): we are developing a multi-modal bathymetric surveying and post processing system in order to conduct surveys down to 80 meters below sea level.
