Expanding Product Offering: AW3D
- European Space Imaging
- 1 October, 2021
European Space Imaging is expanding our elevation product offering with the addition of AW3D, a highly accurate set of Digital Elevation Models with global coverage.
AW3D uses millions of satellite imagery to create comprehensive high resolution global elevation models. It is considered to be the world’s first and most precise 3D map covering worldwide land spaces with 5 meter resolution plus 50 cm resolution on-demand. Available products:
- AW3D Standard – DSM / DTM in 2.5 m or 5 m resolution
- AW3D Enhanced – DSM / DTM in 0.5 m, 1 m or 2 m resolution.
These datasets will prove useful across all industry applications, especially energy and mining, defence and intelligence, civil government and engineering.

Understanding ONA in Satellite Imagery: What is Off Nadir Angle and What Is It Used For?
Off Nadir Angle (ONA) plays a crucial role in the quality of optical satellite imagery. It influences its resolution and clarity, decides the visibility of features, and makes it easier or harder to identify objects. Moreover, ONA is used to create stereo imagery and 3D models of the Earth’s surface. Read on to learn more.
Sun Glint Can Ruin Satellite Imagery. How Do We Avoid It?
Sun glint occurs when sunlight reflects off water or another reflective surface at the satellite sensor, creating a bright glare in the image. That can make it impossible to extract useful information from satellite imagery. What do we do to minimise its impact?
