Improve Terrain Analysis with Advanced DEM Technology  

Hosted by: DigitalGlobe and PhotoSat

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Accurate elevation models are key building blocks for successful exploration, engineering, and infrastructure projects. DigitalGlobe's new WorldView Elevation Suite provides a full perspective for your project area, combining a highly accurate Digital Elevation Model (DEM) derived from a WorldView-1 stereo pair with orthoimagery and contours. 

DigitalGlobe has partnered with a key reseller, PhotoSat, to produce these data suites using an innovative geophysical technology similar to 3D seismic processing that provides unprecedented accuracy for a satellite based DEM. 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Discover how DigitalGlobe's highly accurate WorldView-1 stereo pairs combined with PhotoSat's unique geophysical processing technology can deliver a DEM reaching 1 meter absolute vertical accuracy (LE 90) using only one suitably accurate ground control point within each 10 km x 10 km area.  
  
  
• Learn how to obtain elevation models anywhere in the world without local access challenges that may be an issue with LiDAR--such as permitting in-country presence where getting a plane in the air or a field team on the ground is too costly, time consuming or unsafe.    
  
  
• See how the WorldView Elevation Suite offers a highly accurate terrain analysis solution for a wide variety of industries, including oil and gas, mining, engineering firm, water management, defense and intelligence, utilities and transportation, and more.   
  
  
• Discover the advantages of using PhotoSat's geophysical stereo processing over traditional photogrammetry. 
  
  
• Hear a case story about volumetric calculations within a mine site using a WorldView Elevation Suite DEM. 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Designed for geotechnical, design/build, resource exploration, and mapping professionals who need highly accurate elevation models over sparsely vegetated international areas.
