The table below lists the processing outputs we offer, along with information about the output resolution and characteristics.
Orthomosaic | An orthomosaic is the stitching of photos together to create one large map of all individual photos. | We recommend processing at 5cm/px. |
Point Cloud* | A point cloud is a set of data points in space. The points may represent a 3D shape or object. | Each point position has its set of Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z). |
Textured Mesh* | A more structured representation with surfaces composed of interconnected polygons and includes texture information for realistic rendering and visualization | Visualised as a triangulation model of your orthomosaic imagery. |
Digital Terrain Model | A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) sometimes called Digital Elevation Model (DEM). A DTM or DEM represents the ground level data, without any buildings or trees.
| Presented in a gridded format, where the pixel values represent height above sea level. We recommend processing at 15cm/px. |
Digital Surface Model | A Digital Surface Model (DSM) is an elevation model that captures both the ground as in the DEM, along with the trees, buildings and other artefacts on its surface. | In the same gridded format, the pixel values represent height above sea level. We recommend processing at 15cm/px. |
Hillshade | Included in your outputs based on selecting a DTM or DSM. | Shown in the map as the visual representation of the DEM and DSM as a layer. |
Contours * | Contours at equal intervals to show elevation on your map. | 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 5m options |
*Outputs available on paid plans.
