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.
