IFSAR Mapping Technology

Intermap Technologies produces digital elevation models, orthorectified radar images, and numerous value-added products from our proprietary airborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) technology.

Their revolutionary IFSAR technology enables us to map large areas more quickly and more efficiently than any other technology in the world. Our fixed-wing aircraft, equipped with IFSAR, can operate day or night, in clear or cloudy conditions — virtually anywhere, anytime.

Advantages associated with our airborne IFSAR mapping technology include:

	Flexibility of system deployment
	Virtually nonexistent weather restrictions
	Profound cloud penetrating capability
	Rapid turn-around time
	Significant reduction in data collection costs

IFSAR Data are used for a wide range of applications:

	Telecommunications network planning
	Emergency managment
	Environmental managment
	Image Orthorectification
	Mining exploration

IFSAR Standard Data Products

DSM

DTM

ORI

Digital Surface Models (DSM) - A topographic model of the earth’s surface that includes buildings, vegetation, roads, and natural terrain features. The key benefit of the DSM is that it provides a geometrically correct base map.

Digital Terrain Models (DTM) – A topographic model of the bare earth that has had vegetation, buildings, and other cultural features digitally removed, enabling users to infer terrain characteristics possibly hidden in the DSM.

Orthorectified Radar Images (ORI) - A grayscale image of the earth's surface that looks very similar to a monochromatic aerial photograph. However, ORIs are able to accentuate features far more than is possible with traditional aerial photography.
