WorldView Elevation Suite

Accurate elevation models are key building blocks for successful exploration, engineering, land management, and simulation. DigitalGlobe’s new WorldView Elevation Suite provides a full perspective for your project area, bundling a highly accurate digital elevation model (DEM) derived from a WorldView-1 stereo pair with ortho-imagery and contours.

Overview

DigitalGlobe has partnered with PhotoSat Information Ltd. to produce elevation datasets over rural areas of low vegetation using an inno­vative geophysical technology similar to 3D seismic processing that provides unprecedented accuracy from a satellite-based DEM.

Engineering-Grade Accuracy from Space

In leveraging PhotoSat’s innovative geophysical technology, we provide superior quality for a satellite-derived product that is comparable to aerial technologies in detail and accuracy.

Global Reach

Obtain elevation models for any country in the world without local access challenges like permitting or in-country presence. Our worldwide reach allows more efficient mapping of areas where getting a plane in the air or a team on the ground is too costly, time consuming, or unsafe.

Current Information

Conduct your operations with recent data. We’ll work with you to obtain the data within your date specifications to ensure it is as relevant as possible. Utilize our custom tasking capabilities or select imagery from our ImageLibrary.

A Comprehensive Solution

Each order contains:

• A 1 meter post-spacing Digital Elevation Model in GeoTiff format
• 50cm, 1:4800 WorldView-1 orthorectified imagery in GeoTIFF format
• 1 meter contours in shapefile format
• Full metadata

* Distribution and use of imagery at better than .50 m GSD pan and 2.0 m GSD multispectral is subject to prior approval by the U.S. Government.
