Rapid Terrain Mapping from Satellite Remote Sensing
Global, Rapid, & High Precision Terrain Mapping from Satellite Remote Sensing
Page last modified
April 1 2025
Very precise and high-resolution topographic elevation gridded data derived from remote sensing stereo satellite imagery by leveraging Terrabotics’ proprietary, best-in-class, photogrammetric sub-pixel stereo mapping engine. Delivering the highest possible vertical precision and accuracy achievable from remote sensing survey methods. These services typically include Digital elevation surface and terrain models (i.e. DSM and DTM) and map-corrected ortho-rectified satellite imagery as standard.
For the speed, cost, wide-area coverage, and safety benefits, satellite remote sensing mapping cannot be rivalled.
Rapidly, efficiently, and safely plan onshore land activities anywhere in the world:
- Cut and fill for well pad planning
- Routing for pipelines.
- Site selection for facilities.
- Flood risk modelling
- Landslide / landslip risk modelling
- Earthworks monitoring
- Encroachment monitoring
Pros & Limitations
1
Perfect for low cost, rapid, and safe reconnoissance and scouting
1
Rapid: 10 x Faster data collection, processing, analysis, and delivery than ground survey or drones.
1
Low-Cost: Less than the price of flights and people deployment to anywhere in the world.
1
High Density Point Mapping: >1 billion, 1m x 1m, terrain elevation points mapped instantly. Far more dense than
1
Remote & Safe: No HSE exposure on the ground. Remote Sensing satellites require no onsite presence.
1
Wide-area coverage versus Drones: 25 sq.km - 100,000 sq.km. Far greater than drones/uav/uas and ground survey per $
1
No Permits Required: no access permits required, map and survey anywhere in the world.
1
Global: See and map anywhere with satellite image based 3D mapping.
0
Lower horizontal and vertical accuracy versus traditional differential GPS ground survey methods.
