For a very realistic representation of ground relief, mountains or other terrain characteristics, SPOT DEM can be overlaid with a SPOTView Plus Ortho of the same area, which adds 3D perspective.

Add a new dimension to your geographic data bases
- A SPOT DEM is a digital elevation model produced by automatic correlation of stereopairs acquired by the HRS instrument on SPOT 5.

Unlike a digital terrain model (DTM), which describes the distribution of terrain or “bare earth” heights, a DEM includes “first surface” elevations including vegetation and man-made structures.

-
Sampling
- A SPOT DEM is a gridded file with step sizes of 1 second of arc (30 m on the equator, E/W dimensions vary according to the latitude).
Resampling to 20 m available.

Unmatched performance
-
Absolute horizontal accuracy without ground control points
-

The absolute horizontal accuracy is the positional error in the DEM with respect to the ground truth. For a SPOT DEM, this depends on the dimensions of the area of interest or on the availability of Reference3D data for this area.
-
Absolute vertical accuracy without ground control points
- The absolute vertical accuracy is the elevation error in the DEM with respect to the ground truth. It depends mainly on the slope of the terrain.
