Products Based on Scenarios
The following table gives an overview of all available products for each scenario option. The most commonly used products for each scenario option are enabled by default (DEFAULT).

When producing DSM, True Ortho, and (Textured) DSM Mesh, the best practice is to use Nadir frames only, even in the case of Nadir + Oblique camera systems. In such situations, restricting the imagery to the Nadir frames speeds up processing and guarantees higher-quality results. The scenario Aerial Oblique is best suited for the production of Point Clouds and Textured 3D Mesh Models.
