Map layers

The viewer displays your results as map layers in the browser: the orthomosaic, the DSM (surface model) and the DTM (terrain model), depending on which outputs you requested. You can switch between layers to compare the photographic view with the elevation data.

Each layer is rendered on an interactive map, so you can pan and zoom the way you would on any web map. This makes it easy to check coverage, spot artifacts and inspect details before you download anything or share the project.

  • Orthomosaic — the georeferenced photo map stitched from your images.
  • DSM — elevation including buildings, trees and other objects.
  • DTM — the bare-ground terrain surface.

Layers appear only for the outputs the project was processed with; see Choosing outputs for what each one is. To measure on a layer, head to Measurements.
