The diverse geology of Germany and the resulting use are the causes of a wide variety of ground motions, such as soil compaction, landslides, groundwater extraction, natural gas extraction, (abandoned) mining and cavern storage operations. The products of the Ground Motion Service Germany (BBD) are based on SAR data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission and Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) processing. The BBD portal contains PSI data from the entire Federal Republic of Germany (approx. 360,000 km²). PSI technology enables precise measurements of ground motions in the mm range. The measuring points (Persistent Scatterer, PS) correspond to objects already present on the ground, such as buildings, infrastructure or natural objects such as rocks. Each PS is characterized by a velocity value averaged over several years (expressed in mm/year) and a time series of displacements. For each PS, the time series of displacements from the first Sentinel-1 acquisition to the last evaluated Sentinel-1 acquisition can be viewed. The PS are visualized according to the mean velocity along the line of sight (LOS) of the Sentinel-1 satellites according to the following convention in the BBD portal: - the green color corresponds to the PS, whose average speed is very low, between -2.0 and +2.0 mm/year, i.e. in the sensitivity range of the PSI technology; - those PS with a negative movement rate are visualized in the colors from yellow to red, i.e. movements away from the satellite; - the colors from turquoise to blue visualize those PS with a positive movement rate, i.e. PS that are approaching the satellite. The precision of the PSI data presented is on the order of typically +- 2 mm/year for the average velocity in LOS.

The BBD portal contains PSI data from the entire Federal Republic of Germany (approx. 360,000 km²). PSI technology enables precise measurements of ground motions in the mm range. The decomposed virtual PS are visualized according to the mean velocity along vertical direction according to the following convention in the BBD portal: - the green color corresponds to the virtual PS, whose average speed is very low, between -2.0 and +2.0 mm/year, i.e. in the sensitivity range of the PSI technology; - those virtual PS with a negative movement rate are visualized in the colors from yellow to red, i.e. downward movement; - the colors from turquoise to blue visualize those virtual PS with a positive movement rate, i.e. upward movement. The precision of the PSI data presented is on the order of typically +- 2 mm/year for the average velocity.

The BBD portal contains PSI data from the entire Federal Republic of Germany (approx. 360,000 km²). PSI technology enables precise measurements of ground motions in the mm range. The decomposed virtual PS are visualized according to the mean velocity along East-West direction according to the following convention in the BBD portal: - the green color corresponds to the virtual PS, whose average speed is very low, between -2.0 and +2.0 mm/year, i.e. in the sensitivity range of the PSI technology; - those virtual PS with a negative movement rate are visualized in the colors from yellow to red, i.e. movements to the West; - the colors from turquoise to blue visualize those virtual PS with a positive movement rate, i.e. movements to the East.

Die Amtliche Basiskarte (ABK) deckt den Kartenmaßstab 1 : 5 000 als topographisches Basiskartenwerk ab. Die ABK stellt die Schnittstelle zwischen der eigentumsorientierten Liegenschaftskarte und den topographischen Landeskartenwerken dar und wird ausschließlich aus den Informationen des Liegenschaftskatasters (ALKIS) abgeleitet. Stand der verwendeten Daten: 01.01.2023.

Orthophotos sind hochauflösende, verzerrungsfreie, maßstabsgetreue Abbildungen der Erdoberfläche. Sie werden durch photogrammetrische Verfahren in Kenntnis der Orientierungsparameter und unter Hinzunahme eines Digitalen Höhenmodells aus Luftbildern hergestellt, die als Senkrechtaufnahmen vorliegen. Digitale Orthophotos sind georeferenziert, liegen flächendeckend vor und werden in einem 2-jährigen Zyklus erneuert. Sie werden nach dem Produktstandard des Landes, der auf den Festlegungen eines AdV-Standards (AdV Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Vermessungsverwaltungen der Länder) beruht, hergestellt und weisen eine Bodenauflösung von 10cm/Pixel auf. Es handelt sich um 4-Kanal Multispektralbilder mit der Kanalbelegung RGBI (Rot-Grün-Blau-Nahes Infrarot). Mit dem Bildflug 2018 wurde die Prozessierung des DOP als True Orthophoto eingeführt mit den gleichen geometrischen und radiometrischen Qualitäten wie bisher. Die Umstellung auf die neue Produktqualität wird mit der Prozessierung des Bildflugs 2020 Mitte 2021 abgeschlossen sein.
