3D Surface Maps – DEM, DTM, DSM

KPM Franklin’s Unmanned Aerial Surveying (UAS) Services can produce 3D surface maps – DEM, DTM and DSM – that are easier to analyze visually with CAD or GIS software. These datasets have a smaller size than a point cloud model which allows for more practical sharing and storing of data collected from our aerial LiDAR systems.
