Elevation

 

Contour mapping connects points of equal elevation to highlight changes in elevation, slope, and aspect.

DEM (Digital Elevation Models) contain grids of spot heights with break lines along terrain impacting features such as ridges, valleys, road edges, and waterways.

Who’s It For?

First Base Solutions produces 1m contour elevations from our orthophoto, commonly used in practical engineering applications. We can also source worldwide coverage provided by DigitalGlobe.

Predict the flow of surface water, air movement, acoustic modeling, sightline analysis, volumetric calculations, and show depth on a flat image when used together with orthophoto.
