A 50-cm Vricon DSM collected over Oahu, Hawaii, USA.In conjunction with our partner, Vricon – a geospatial intelligence company dedicated to mapping the globe in 3D – we are pleased to offer 50-cm digital elevation models (DEMs) from a growing archive. Owned by Saab and Maxar, Vricon pulls from Maxar-DigitalGlobe’s vast archive of satellite imagery to create 50-centimeter (cm) resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) with impressive accuracy.
Vricon replaces the need for stereo pairs by combining a multitude of high-resolution satellite images taken at varying look angles along with a 3D modeling algorithm to create their extremely detailed and accurate elevation models. Vricon DEMs are offered at both 50-cm and 5-meter (m) resolution as a digital surface model (DSM) or a digital terrain model (DTM).
A DTM of the Colorado Front Range on the left side of the image above blends into a Vricon 3D Surface Model over Golden, Colorado, USA.Here is a summary of the current Vricon DEM specifications:
- DEM Post Spacing (i.e. Resolution): 5 m
- Absolute Vertical Accuracy: < 3 m Linear Error 90% (LE90)
- Absolute Horizontal Accuracy: < 3 m Circular Error 90% (CE90)
- Product Levels: DSM and DTM
