Performance Summary

Resolution
50cm
Swath
Accuracy
The objective is to get a 1 m relative altimetric accuracy (CE90) at 1 m ground sampling distance (GSD). Each DSM will be produced at 1, 4, 12, 15 and 30 meter GSD. At 15 m and 30m GSD, the DSM will be delivered as open data.
Waveband
Red, green, blue and VNIR bands with 50 cm GSD
VIS (~0.40 µm - ~0.75 µm)
NIR (~0.75 µm - ~1.3 µm)
