The Vivid™ Terrain advantage

See every contour on Earth in stunning 3D

3D data works best when it truly mirrors the real world. Built on Vantor's industry-leading satellite imagery, Vivid Terrain includes over 95% of the highest areas interest of the world delivered in stunning 50 cm resolution with real colors and textures.

Pixels always in the right place

To operate effectively in the real world, your systems can't guess at coordinates. Vivid Terrain is accurate to within 3 m in all dimensions and is capable of being used to extract coordinates with 1 m accuracy, serving as an unrivaled spatial foundation for multi-sensor operations. Especially when combined with our Forge automated fusion software.

Visualize every angle of change

Highly accurate 3D terrain is good. Highly accurate, up-to-date 3D terrain is even better. Vantor's AI-powered 3D production software can produce millions of sq km of precise Vivid Terrain 3D models per month, all free from occlusion and correlation errors. Traditional methods struggle to scale beyond localized capture.

3D Surface Model

Photorealistic digital twin

In technical terms, 3D Surface Model is a triangulated irregular network (TIN), representing both elevation and texture. The most immersive version of the physical terrain, ideal for modeling/simulation, visualizations, and more.

Digital Surface Model

Elevation models describing the Earth’s surface

Digital Surface Model and Digital Terrain Models describe the elevation of the Earth's first surface, including trees, manmade objects, and the bare earth. Delivered in standard GIS formats, these products are used for analyzing urban planning, line of sight, forest canopy height, shade patterns, and more.

Point Cloud

Lidar-compatible RGB intelligence

Unlike laser-scanned terrain, an RGB colorized Point Cloud delivers x, y, and z measurements that are attributed with the corresponding image textures, providing visual context. Built to power your modeling workflows, this product is fully compatible with traditional lidar procession and exploitation tools.

True Ortho

Parallax-free, textured analysis

A top-down view of the physical terrain, representing texture electro-optical data without parallax and delivered in standard 2D GeoTIFF format. This product is ideal for detailed analysis of urban environments and infrastructure, building footprint extraction, and change detection.

Land Use Classification

Automated ground-cover for faster analysis

Land Use Classification provides insights on the ground-cover type class in a raster format, with classification information automatically extracted from the Vivid Terrain 3D Surface Model. It provides intelligence on more than 20 types of classifications.
