- The first surface model is produced using the digital stereo aerial photography acquired by Getmapping
- The data is acquired and processed independent of any OS datasets and is therefore free from any third party copyright
- The process takes advantage of semi-automatic algorithms and the superior quality of the digital camera technology to produce a clean first surface model
- This requires only minimal manual editing to remove gross errors and to accurately map the drainage network
- The result is a DSM with a 2m posting and a vertical accuracy RMSE of around 50cm, with sub-pixel horizontal accuracy
- For practical comparison, the accuracy of our data in open areas is directly comparable with LiDAR
