Digital Surface Models (DSM)
A DSM represents the earth's surface, including natural and man-made features such as buildings, vegetation, and infrastructure. Ideal for:
-
Urban planning and infrastructure development
-
Solar and wind energy site assessment
-
Vegetation and canopy analysis
-
Viewshed and line-of-sight studies
Digital Terrain Models (DTM)
A DTM removes all surface objects to represent bare-earth elevation. This model is essential for:
-
Hydrological modeling and floodplain analysis
-
Cut and fill calculations for earthworks
-
Slope stability and erosion monitoring
-
Geological and terrain studies
Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
A DEM is a generalized elevation model that can be derived from DSM or DTM. It is commonly used for:
-
Topographic mapping
-
GIS-based spatial analysis
-
Terrain visualization and simulation
-
Regional-scale environmental assessments
