Digital Surface Models (DSM)
Off-the-shelf elevation models for a complete 3D view of your project
The HxGN Content Program offers nationwide Digital Surface Models (DSM) up to 20 cm resolution (nominal point spacing) across the United States and Europe. Derived from quality controlled, high-accuracy aerial imagery, Hexagon's DSM is an ideal data layer for landscape modelling, city modelling, visualization applications, flood modelling, land-use studies and geological applications.
High-accuracy DSM for any application
Utilise an off-the-shelf Digital Surface Model (DSM) to view a 3D representation of your chosen landscape and its above-ground features. The DSM coverage area includes the entire continental United States and most of Europe (see coverage map).
Providing a clear view of the surface in a 3D format, the DSM is readily available and can be used for mapping, planning, and analysis in a wide range of industries. Unprecedented consistency and positional accuracy make this DSM an ideal data source for automatic feature extraction and machine learning applications.
