WorldDEM Neo
WorldDEM Neo is the latest global elevation model from Airbus, offering exceptional accuracy and coverage. Combining data from TanDEM-X and TerraSAR-X acquired between 2017 and 2021, with 5m pixel spacing for every spot on earth, WorldDEM Neo sets a new standard for satellite-based Digital Elevation Models.
The product’s homogeneous, seamless, pole-to-pole coverage makes it a robust reference layer for risk assessments and global phenomena investigations. WorldDEM Neo has proven valuable for applications ranging from mineral exploration, infrastructure planning, line of sigh analysis, hydrological modeling to defence operations, with easy ordering available through the OneAtlas.
Available as DSM and DTM formats
5m pixel spacing for global coverage
High vertical accuracy with homogeneous data
Derived from SAR interferometry
