Shaded relief image of the Mississippi Gulf Coast with Intermap Technologies GT2 data. The 5 meter resolution IFSAR data has beenshaded with an solar azimuth of 225 degrees and a solar elevation of 45 degrees, the digital elevation data was scaled by a factor offive. For further enhancement a Landsat satellite image, displayed with bands 4, 3, & 2, was used as an overlay.

Elevation data are used for many purposesin transportation planning. Uses range fromcalculation of grades to estimation of cutand fill amounts for highway construction.In the environmental assessment oftransportation projects, elevation data areuseful for efforts that range from watersheddelineation to visualization of the landscape.

Most readily available digital elevationmodel (DEM) data provide a "bare earth"depiction of the landscape in which treesand other naturally occurring vegetativecover is removed from the landscape. Also,DEM's do not typically show man-madestructures. In contrast, digital surfaces thatare available through InterferometricSynthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) provide alandscape surface that includes the texture ofthe vegetation cover as well as the shapes ofman-made structures. Therefore, the use ofIFSAR digital surface models (DSM's) suchas those provided by Intermap's GT2 datacan provide an enhanced visualization byimproving the ability to assess vegetationcover and the urban landscape.
