High-Resolution Digital Elevation Models
AW3D ENHANCED DSM
Understanding the elevations of features and terrain is a critical part of most modern geospatial applications—from orthorectification to detailed radio propagation models. DigitalGlobe has partnered with NTT Data to offer AW3D Enhanced, high-resolution and accurate Digital Surface Models (DSM) and Digital Terrain Models (DTM) derived from the vast DigitalGlobe image library. These detailed elevation models are globally available as 50 cm, 1 m and 2 m resolutions and serve as key building blocks for successful exploration, engineering, land management and simulation. © NTT Data

the industry’s highest quality satellite imagery for a superior orthorectification DEM, or to unlock deeper context about your areas of interest. management costs with DigitalGlobe as a one-stop shop for imagery and AW3D Enhanced elevation models.
DigitalGlobe has owned and operated a high-resolution satellite constellation for nearly two decades and collects more than 3.5 million sq km of Earth imagery daily, at the highest resolution and image quality commercially available. Today, DigitalGlobe leverages a 100-petabyte imagery archive and an extensive partner ecosystem to build accurate and high-resolution DEMs at scale using multi-view photogrammetric processes.
