FAQ
DT1 to GLTF Conversion
What are DT1 files?
DT1 is the file extension for Level 1 of Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), a standardized elevation product described in the MIL-PRF-89020 specification of the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). Each file represents a one-degree by one-degree geographic cell and contains terrain heights sampled at a regular interval of 3 arc-seconds, equal to approximately 90 to 100 meters at the equator. Level 1 sits between the coarser Level 0 (.dt0) and the finer Level 2 (.dt2) products, and serves as a common choice for regional terrain analysis, flight planning, line-of-sight studies, and mapping at medium scales. The file starts with header records that identify the cell, its origin, and its accuracy, followed by the matrix of elevations. The format is a long-established standard in defense, aviation, and civil geospatial work.
What are GLTF files?
glTF or GL Transmission Format is a vector extension developed by the non-profit consortium Khronos with the aim of improving interoperability between various types of software specialized in creating and accessing 3D content. The extension is compatible with several application programming interfaces (APIs) that offer 2D and 3D vector graphics rendering, including WebGL, OpenGL ES and OpenGL.
