Digital Surface Maps capture all surface features, including buildings, vegetation, and other structures. Unlike contour maps, DSMs provide a comprehensive view of everything that stands above the ground level. This detailed representation is particularly useful in urban planning, forestry, and landscape modelling. DSMs help in assessing vegetation height, building structures, and other surface features, enabling better planning and resource management.

Digital Terrain Maps focus on representing the bare earth surface by removing all surface features like trees and buildings. This provides a clear view of the terrain itself, which is essential for various analytical purposes. DTMs are extensively used in topographical analysis, flood risk management, infrastructure development, and geological studies. By offering a precise depiction of the Earth’s surface, DTMs facilitate accurate planning and risk assessment.

The different types of elevation maps we offer have diverse applications and benefits:

Contour Maps: Useful for outdoor recreation planning, environmental conservation, and infrastructure projects. They help in understanding the natural landscape and planning accordingly.

Digital Surface Maps (DSM): Ideal for urban planning, forestry management, and 3D modeling. They provide a detailed view of all surface features, aiding in comprehensive analysis and planning.

Digital Terrain Maps (DTM): Essential for flood risk management, geological surveys, and civil engineering projects. They offer a clear depiction of the bare earth, supporting accurate terrain analysis and decision-making.

By utilizing our advanced drone technology, we ensure high-quality and precise elevation maps that cater to the specific needs of your projects. Whether you need detailed surface features or a clear view of the terrain, our elevation maps provide the insights required for successful planning and execution.
