Digital Elevation Models (DEMs):

Pricing & Product Specifications

Table Notes:

AES Premium Region countries = Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, China, East Timor, Laos, Malaysia, North Korea, Philippines, Russia,
Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam
*
Academics receive a 10% discount on ImageSat DEMs and a 30% discount on AES DEMs. Archived stereo and DEM coverage is
subject to a feasibility. Abbreviations used in this document include:
CE90 = Circular Error 90% (i.e. horizontal error)
GCPs = ground control points
LE90 = Linear Error 90% (i.e. vertical error)
m = meters
min = minimum
sq km = square kilometers
**
Orders over 2,000 sq km are subject to custom pricing. DTM subject to feasibility.
***
Final product accuracies are dependent on the slope of the terrain and the quality of GCPs (if supplied). Accuracies not
guaranteed.
****
Turnaround is dependent on existing coverage, local tasking competition and/or average cloud cover. These turnaround times
are only estimates so data delivery can take more or less time than stated here.

Prices current as of July 9, 2019.
