High-accuracy terrain data collection technology, operating effectively in all weather conditions and terrains.
Technical Capabilities of the IFSAR Airborne Radar System
A multi-sensor radar platform delivering high-quality terrain data from collection through processing.
Orthorectified Radar Imagery (ORI)
Black and white images of the Earth's surface geometrically corrected to remove terrain distortions.
- Spatial resolution of 0.625 meters.
- Planimetric accuracy of 3 meters.
- Completely eliminates distortions caused by elevation and sensor viewing angles.
Digital Surface Model (DSM)
Elevation values encompassing all features on the Earth's surface: vegetation, structures, and terrain.
- The Digital Surface Model (DSM) is a comprehensive set of elevation values for all objects on the Earth's surface, including vegetation (trees, ground cover), man-made structures (buildings, roads, bridges), and natural terrain.
- Grid resolution of 5 meters, suitable for regional planning analyses and spatial assessments.
- Vertical accuracy of 1 meter (RMSE), ensuring reliable data for volume calculations, height analyses, and engineering design.
- DSM data is essential for 3D model construction, flight path analysis, visibility assessment, and infrastructure development planning.
Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
Bare-earth terrain model with all vegetation and man-made structures removed.
- The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) represents the natural terrain of the Earth's surface, created by removing all vegetation, buildings, and cultural features, retaining only the basic ground surface.
- Grid resolution of 5 meters, suitable for watershed analysis, earthwork volume calculations, and road design.
- Vertical accuracy of 1 meter (RMSE), ensuring reliability for engineering applications requiring accurate baseline terrain data.
- DTM is an indispensable input for hydrology applications, flood analysis, drainage design, and inundation modeling.
Multi-Sensor Collection Platform
Multi-sensor radar system on a specialized aircraft, capturing high-resolution imagery and penetrating dense forest canopy.
- The collection platform utilizes an FAA-certified Learjet-36 aircraft equipped with a multi-sensor IFSAR radar system, enabling high-resolution radar imagery capture including triple-canopy foliage penetration at high altitude.
- The Dual-Look mechanism collects data from both sides of the flight path, increasing efficiency and reducing radar shadow zones.
- The system operates in a fully autonomous fashion, eliminating the need for manual operation and ensuring consistency throughout the entire collection process.
- Change Detection capability identifies feature changes beneath the canopy that are invisible in optical imagery.
Orthorectified Radar Imagery (ORI)
Geometrically corrected black-and-white radar imagery of the Earth's surface with terrain distortion removed.
- Orthorectified Radar Imagery (ORI) is a geometrically corrected black-and-white image of the Earth's surface, processed to remove all geometric distortions caused by terrain relief.
- Ground Sample Distance (GSD) of 0.625 meters enables detailed observation of infrastructure features such as roads, buildings, and natural terrain characteristics.
- Horizontal accuracy of 3 meters ensures reliability for coordinate verification and integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
- ORI data undergoes radiometric balancing, providing uniform brightness and contrast across the entire collection area.
Advanced Processing Software
Software system for gap removal, automated interpolation, and cloud-based data delivery.
- Integrated processing software features gap removal and automated data interpolation capabilities, enabling processing across large project areas unaffected by seam lines or random data errors.
- A strict quality management process ensures the highest standard of output data, including seamless terrain surface generation and precise geometric registration.
- Cloud Services provide instant access to data products and services for any area of interest via subscription, eliminating costs and resources associated with large-scale local data storage.
- Compatible with OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium), Web Coverage Service (WCS), and Web Map Service (WMS) standards, enabling seamless integration with hundreds of third-party GIS tools.
NEXTMap One Global Elevation Data
Next-generation elevation dataset at 1m resolution, seamless global coverage, hydro-enforced.
- NEXTMap One is Intermap Technologies' next-generation global 3D terrain dataset, providing seamless data at 1-meter resolution for all countries and locations worldwide.
- Includes two products: NEXTMap DSM (containing elevations of both natural features and structures) and NEXTMap DTM (bare earth with surface features removed).
- Vertical accuracy of up to 1 meter LE90, meeting international standards for high-demand engineering applications.
- Hydro-enforced data: water bodies and coastlines are flattened and corrected to ensure proper hydrological flow direction.
- Instant access via Cloud Services, compliant with OGC, WCS, and WMS standards, compatible with hundreds of third-party GIS tools and applications.
