You will always be able to download the raw data you upload for free.

GeoNadir uses AWS-managed cloud servers in Australia.

When you upload datasets to GeoNadir, these can be stored in two different ways: FAIR Geo, which is publicly accessible, or private datasets which only the owner of the account has access to.

The outcome of a procedure that involves combining several overlapping photos, such as those captured by a drone or an aerial camera, is known as image stitching. This process eliminates distortions to create a seamless and uninterrupted map or image representation of a specific area on the earth’s surface.

Orthomosaics are downloaded as GeoTIFF images.

DEM: A digital elevation model (DEM) is a gridded raster data that provides a three-dimensional view of the terrain. It eliminates terrain vector features, such as streams, break lines, and ridges, as well as all ground-based objects, both natural (such as trees and vegetation) and built (including buildings, towers, and power lines).

DTM: A digital terrain model (DTM) is a three-dimensional representation of the bare earth surface, which encompasses the terrain’s topography. It comprises a set of points with specific heights and incorporates characteristics such as rivers, ridges, and break-lines. This model excludes all-natural or human-made objects present on the earth’s surface, including buildings and vegetation.

DSM: A digital surface model (DSM) is a three-dimensional depiction of the Earth’s surface that includes both natural and man-made objects located on it. This model represents the elevations of reflective surfaces such as vegetation, buildings, and other features above the bare earth. It is typically viewed as a model of the canopy that covers the surface of the bare earth and reflects the mean sea level elevations.

TMS stands for Tile Mapping Service. You can use a TMS to stream an orthomosaic to other platforms as a base map.

This saves you time because you don’t need to download your files and then re-upload them to a 3rd party. If you want further explanation on how you can stream TMS to ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, and QGIS, head to our YouTube channel.
