India’s most accurate %%DEM and 3D Mapping%% with High-Resolution SAR

Flagship initiative developed as part of the prestigious ADITI scheme under iDEX Challenges.

The project generates a high-resolution, SAR-based Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for large-scale land surveys, disaster management, elevation mapping, and more. Using advanced SAR technology and precision geospatial workflows, it delivers highly accurate, reliable, all-weather elevation data for critical national applications.

Key Highlights

Indigenous High-Resolution SAR Sensor

Development of a state-of-the-art Indian Indigenous SAR sensor capable of capturing extremely fine-resolution data, including over complex and rugged hilly terrains.

Next-Generation DEM Generation

Capability to produce precise DEMs under cloud cover, night conditions, and challenging topographies, where optical systems fail.

Advanced Interferometric Techniques

Leveraging InSAR and precise baseline configuration to extract accurate surface elevation information

Scalable for Large-Region Mapping

Designed to process massive geographies, making it ideal for national-level mapping, defense applications, and disaster management

Impact

OmniSAR3D enables high-precision, all-weather elevation mapping critical for national planning, defense operations, and disaster management. By delivering MSL-accurate DEMs across large and complex terrains, the project advances India’s indigenous geospatial capabilities and represents one of the country’s most scientifically rigorous SAR-based elevation mapping initiatives.
