Featured Product – 15/30-cm Stereo Images & 20/40-cm DSMs over Europe & USA

Working with our aerial imagery partner, Hexagon (HxGN), we are happy to offer highly detailed 15-centimer (cm) and 30-cm stereo pairs as well as 20-cm and 40-cm digital surface models (DSMs) from an archive covering much of Europe and the United States.

Both of these elevation/3D products have the same geographic extent as our HxGN 15-cm and 30-cm aerial imagery layers and can be queried anytime on Image Hunter. The optical stereo pairs are delivered in both natural and false color at 15-cm and 30-cm resolutions (as is available in the archive). Here is a more detailed summary of the product specifications for these 15/30-cm high-resolution stereo pairs:

  • Resolution: 15-cm and 30-cm
  • Geographic Coverage: Europe & the United States (as available)
  • Spectral Bands: natural color & false color (CIR)
  • Bit Depth: 16-bit
  • Horizontal Accuracy (XY): 0.5-m RMSE, 1.07-m CE90%
  • Product Format: GeoTIFF with appropriate stereo models and exterior orientation parameters
  • Coordinate System: UTM IRTF2008 (Europe), UTM NAD83 (USA)
  • Nominal Stereo Ground Sampling Distance (GSD): ~20-cm for 15-cm aerial locations; ~40-cm for 30-cm locations
  • Control Systems: onboard GPS/IMU plus bundle adjustment with ground control points

From these 15-cm and 30-cm stereo pairs, Hexagon has extracted 20-cm or 40-cm DSMs (respectively) which are ready for off-the-shelf delivery. Featuring exceptional horizontal and vertical accuracies, these DSMs cover much of the United States and Europe. Here is a more detailed summary of the DSM product specifications:

  • DEM Type: digital surface model (DSM)
  • Product Resolution*: equal to nominal stereo ground sampling distance (GSD), which is commonly 20-cm or 40-cm
  • DSM Product Formats: 1X stereo GSD, full resolution point cloud; 2X stereo GSD, de-noised point cloud; 4X stereo GSD, intermediate resolution point cloud; and 5-m raster grid
  • Geographic Coverage: Europe & the United States (as available)
  • Horizontal Accuracy (XY): 1.2-m RMSE, 2.6-m CE90%
  • Vertical Accuracy (Z): 2X stereo GSD
  • File Format: compressed LAZ (point cloud), GeoTIFF (raster grid)
  • Coordinate System (horizontal, vertical): UTM IRTF2008, EGM08 (Europe); UTM NAD83, NAV88 (USA)

* Please note that in some limited cases, regional Hexagon elevation datasets are available at a reduced resolution for both DSM and stereo pair products.

15-cm and 30-cm HxGN aerial imagery coverage, including these new DSM and stereo imagery products, can be searched for anytime on Image Hunter.

    I am interested to buy image (area Mount Korab North Macedonia) from you, but can you send me the price of your km2?

    Hello
    I would like lo know if it is possibe to give us some digital aerial 30cm infrared samples of images that are made by plane, and the other requisite the sample need to have photovoltaic panels..

    we have the need to detect anomalies on themperature in photovoltaic panels.
