Imagery & Geospatial Products for South Dakota
Orthomosaic Imagery
Get access to detailed, top-down views of South Dakota to help you see areas at wide scale across rural areas or in rich definition in densely populated metro areas.
Wide Area Ortho is collected across the whole state at a resolution of 15cm. TrueOrtho and Urban Ortho provide views of urban areas at 7.5cm resolution.
Oblique Imagery
Shift your view with high-resolution Oblique imagery and take a virtual tour around all four sides of a home, building, or area. Improve your inspection or asset monitoring by identifying concerns or issues that wouldn’t normally be visible with a straight down viewpoint.
Oblique imagery is available for major metro areas in South Dakota at 7.5cm resolution.
Elevate
Keep up with the demands of 3D visualization using our Elevate products: Digital Surface Model (DSM) and Digital Terrain Model (DTM). With DSM/DTM data, you can transform your workflows with a stronger context and deeper understanding of the earth’s surface and structures on that surface. DSM data provides a 3D view of objects that sit on the earth’s surface. DTM shows the bare earth with objects removed. Plus, our DSM data has a perfect pixel-to-data match with our TrueOrtho and Multispectral imagery, creating perfect spatial alignment between elevation data and imagery for a more consistent, trusted output.
Multispectral Imagery
Using its market-leading UltraCam sensors, Vexcel collects a near-infrared color band while capturing aerial imagery of urban and rural areas across South Dakota. This wider color spectrum–invisible to the human eye–is published as color-infrared imagery, making it easier to identify living and non-living objects.
This top-down imagery helps classify areas at risk for wildfire, understand impervious surfaces and vegetation health, and more.
Elements
Enhance your property and building visualization with accurate, detailed, and quick property data from Elements, an entire product suite of automated insights. Machine learning is applied to Vexcel’s timestamped, high-resolution aerial imagery, and the output is 40+ property and building attributes.
Plus, as new imagery is collected and published, Elements is updated so you can access the most recent property information. Help drive innovation across your organization with next level property and building detail all with the Elements suite: Building Footprints, Building Attributes, and Property Attributes & Property Reports.
