Elevation10 Update – Archive Availability and Reduced Pricing
If you are working in a cloudy region and need elevation data sooner than later, Elevation10 is the product for you. Created from radar satellite imagery which is not impacted by cloud cover, these elevation models can often be delivered within a month from the start of tasking.
A map of the archived Elevation10 data centered on south-east Asia where the bulk of it exists. Areas with coverage are shown in green.And given that radar is an active sensor, no ground control points are required to achieve digital elevation models with 10-meter (m) resolution as well as 10-m vertical and horizontal accuracy. This is a huge advantage as it reduces turnaround time and eliminates the need for site access.
