## Overview

Vexcel Elevate are global 3D terrain datasets of areas in the USA and Canada, in Western and Eastern Europe, and in Oceania. These datasets are collected simultaneously, resulting in a pixel-to-pixel match between the [aerial image](https://docs.up42.com/data/vexcel-aerial) and elevation data for more accurate calculations.
