7 DEM Data Sets Used A number of SAR and optical air- and space-borne platforms are currently used in aggregation of the NEXTMap World 30 m product.

8 Reference Data Set Validation of the vertical accuracy of the NEXTMap 30m data is of critical importance to any mapping program to ensure that the elevation data meet the required specifications mapping standards. The primary challenge in validating a data collection at the global scale and rugged and remote terrain is obtaining survey-grade reference data that is accurate enough and has suitable coverage to encompass the entire collection area. NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) employing the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) has collected a unique set of full-waveform LiDAR data with global coverage during campaigns that began in 2003 and ended in This system provides a consistently referenced elevation data set with unprecedented accuracy and quantified measurement errors that can be used to generate GCPs with sub-decimeter vertical accuracy.
9 Overview: Amarillo Test Area (all valid ICESat pts intercepting LiDAR tie lines) T1 LiDAR Tie lines: (T1, T2, T3) LiDAR Check lines: (C1, C2) C1 91-day orbits T2 C2 T3 ~180 km ~400 km LiDAR acquired for Intermap by Airborne 1 in All data tied to Intermap survey points. Systematic errors reduced to ~10 cm. Spec was 20cm due to long baselines. These data averaged to 25 m grid. All vertical data transformed to WGS84(G1150) 9
10 Methods: Data Fusion Technique Data Aggregation or Fusion: Combines multiple Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from varying sources at varying accuracies and resolutions into one homogeneous product Alternate data can be blended or fused to more consistent foundational elevation data Data Fusion can improve vertical accuracy of DEM inputs and bring multiple external data sets to the same reference Data Mining Data Specification Validation Data Alignment Fusion Editing Finishing Intermap Technologies.

12 DEM Alignment Example DEM Alignment is made to the reference DEM with better absolute accuracies (not necessarily better resolution or precision) to correct for these systematic errors.

23 Conclusions We reviewed how a variety of elevation data sets from different sources could be fused to create a seamless, consistent elevation foundation for use in a host of applications at global scales. Data fusion process is critical in a world where we work with multiple data sets, comprised of different technologies, resolutions, accuracies, over areas of interest. A global 30 m DEM of this kind of accuracy is needed! Intermap Technologies. All rights reserved.
24 For various parts of the world, digital maps of Earth's topography are limited, inaccurate, or nonexistent. For example, many mountain chains, inhospitable deserts, and dense tropical rain forests have topographic coverage that is totally inadequate mainly because of the difficulty in getting to these locations. Even where topographic maps exist, they may have been created in such a way as to limit their usefulness. Neighboring countries may generate topographic data using entirely different methods. This lack of standardization effectively limits the scope of regional or global studies where precise topography is important. Creation of a high-resolution global elevation model from the best-of-breed datasets among the existing NEXTMap, LiDAR, SRTM, ASTER, and GTOPO30 has been validated using ICESat GLAS LiDAR elevation data as reference data is presented. The vertical accuracies of ICESat reference data is within 25cm RMSE on (relatively) flat and open areas. The positional accuracy is published to be about 4m. Because the footprint is quite large (~65mx65m), the ICESat points were filtered for use as reference data. The reference data for the globe were manually assessed for suitability and categorized based on land cover (barren and five vegetation classes) by cross comparison with optical imagery. The impact of vegetation cover and terrain slope on the vertical accuracy of the 30 m elevation data were assessed. Results indicate that the high resolution 30 m DEM performs better in barren low sloped terrain, than in vegetated and slopes greater than 10 degrees. The vertical accuracy results offer an improvement over the SRTM V4 and ASTER V2 near global elevation data sets. This data set has great implications for national governments, who now have a high resolution seamless DEM for their entire country Intermap Technologies. All rights reserved.
25 25 Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) provide fundamental information that is required for many 3D geo-spatial applications. Recent technological advances in airborne and spaceborne sensors have led to a new era of DEM generation. Foremost among these technologies are the use of stereo photogrammetry, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), stereo radargrammetry based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, and interferometric SAR methods. These technologies are generating high resolution surface and terrain elevation models which play a critical role in applications such as climate modelling, forest inventory, flood analysis, topographic mapping, land and fire applications, and biomass studies. Obtaining high-resolution elevation data covering a specific area can be expensive, and often results in the collection and purchasing of multiple datasets over time. Ultimately, it may also lead to data collections that differ in resolution, dates, formats, and more. DEM fusion techniques combine data from different sources into a single, consistent, homogeneous elevation dataset that is often more accurate and useful than any of the individual input elevation datasets. This paper presents sample data fusion methods, an overview of the unique characteristics of DEMs derived from these different technologies and discusses the benefits of the fusion process for a variety of applications such as water management, urban planning, telecommunications and flood plain mapping. Additionally, an approach for the production of a fused Global DEM using the best available datasets among the existing NEXTMap, LiDAR, SRTM, ASTER, GTOPO30 and ICESAT GLAS elevation data sources is proposed. Several sample data fusion results are presented and discussed Intermap Technologies. All rights reserved.
