GeoNadir uses AWS-managed cloud servers in Australia.

When you are on a paid subscription and you upload datasets to GeoNadir, you have the choice to share it publicly to the FAIR Global map for others to use, or not. The choice is yours. 

Users on the free Essentials plan can only upload data to the FAIR Global Map, which is publicly accessible.

If you have private datasets and you downgrade from a paid plan to the free plan, then you will have 30 days to make your private datasets publicly available on the FAIR global map.

If you do not do this, then your Private datasets will be deleted. You will be notified prior to any data being deleted.

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, click here.
