Our Technology

Regional Topography

Reliable topography for exploration geologists
PhotoSat’s regional topographic maps are 3D elevation surfaces (DEM/DSM), produced with no site visit, in any file format, and in any coordinate system.

Satellite Imagery

PhotoSat uses stereo satellite imagery from optical satellites to produce regional maps of large and remote regions. PhotoSat works with new or archive satellite imagery from Maxar’s IKONOS satellite and Airbus’ SPOT satellites.
