Satellite Derived Digital Terrain Model

Satellite Derived Digital Terrain Model

A Satellite Derived Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a highly accurate 3D representation of the Earth's bare ground surface, capturing only the terrain and excluding surface features like buildings, trees, and vehicles. Unlike a DSM, which includes all surface elements, the DTM provides an unobstructed view of the underlying landscape. This model is ideal for applications in land use planning, flood modeling, and infrastructure design, offering precise elevation data that supports informed decision-making in engineering, environmental, and geospatial projects. By focusing on the raw terrain, the DTM is essential for scenarios where true ground level data is needed.
