|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vivid Terrain - Digital Terrain Model (DTM) | Describes the elevation of the bare earth in a raster format. It is based on the Vivid Terrain Digital Surface Model (DSM) with trees and man-made objects (e.g., houses) removed by automated processing. The data represents the average elevation in the Post Spacing area. |

Vantor's on-demand suite of three-dimensional surface mesh, elevation, and true ortho products that correspond to specific collection dates. WorldView 3D leverages photogrammetric stereo collections that are correlated and enhanced by Vantor’s global Vivid Terrain 3D Surface Model.  WorldView 3D 3DSM
WorldView 3D 3DSM consists of a TIN mesh, which describes the form of the surface of the Earth, and an associated texture, which describes the appearance of the surface, either as panchromatic or natural color, depending on sensor used for image collection. The density of the mesh is irregular, with a higher density in areas and surfaces that are more complex, and sparser in areas that are flat. All other WorldView 3D data products are derived from the WorldView 3D 3D surface model. This assures that there is nearly zero alignment error between the different WorldView 3D data products. WorldView 3D DSM
WorldView 3D DSM describes the elevation of the Earth’s surface in a raster format. The data represents the average elevation in the post spacing area. WorldView 3D Bundle
WorldView 3D Bundle includes WorldView 3D 3D Surface Model (3DSM), WorldView 3D Digital Surface Model (DSM), and WorldView 3D True Ortho. The WorldView 3D True Ortho describes the texture (panchromatic or natural color) of a seamless true orthographic projection of the Earth in a raster format; it is only available as part of the WorldView 3D Bundle. |
Absolute: 4 m LE90, 4 m CE90 | 0.5 m | Hundreds of major cities and high-interest areas around the world. |
Product accuracy shown above is measured at 0.5 m post spacing.
