Creating DSM Maps

With UAV Mapping you can create DSM Maps.

A DSM is useful in 3D modeling for telecommunications, urban planning, and aviation. Because objects extrude from the Earth, this is particularly useful in these examples:

Digital Surface Model

Digital Surface Model (DSM) – Extruding features are tree canopy

RUNWAY APPROACH ZONE ENCROACHMENT: In aviation, DSMs can determine runway obstructions in the approach zone.

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT: Along a transmission line, DSMs can see where and how much vegetation is encroaching.

VIEW OBSTRUCTION: Urban planners use DSM to check how a proposed building would affect the viewshed of residents and businesses.
