DSM - DTM, Resolution 2.5m - 5 m - Worldwide coverage
AW3D Standard data is the result of a collaboration between NTT Data, Japan Remote Sensing Technology Center (RESTEC) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)AW3D Standard is a global DEM produced in High Resolution photogrammetry from the PRISM sensor aboard the ALOS-1 satellite in operation between January 2006 and April 2011. A production process with comparative analysis and rigorous quality control has made it possible to offer a global DSM and DTM with a Z-accuracy of about 7m.
Since 2020 a more accurate 2.5m version has been released.
