FUSEDEM is a hybrid, seamless composite Digital Elevation Model (DEM) produced at a 5-meter resolution. It represents a significant advancement in the development of national-scale elevation data. Designed to deliver the most accurate available elevation data for South Africa, FUSEDEM integrates high-resolution photogrammetric data with a spatially continuous medium-resolution baseline.
GeoSmart is responsible for the distribution of FUSEDEM and oversees its continual improvement.
