Hillshade of DHM/Terrain (2007)

The dataset represents a hillshade derived from the Danish Digital Terrain Model 2007 (DHM/Terrain 2007). The hillshade is produced as a cartographic overlay layer designed to enhance terrain forms and topographic structures in the Danish landscape. The dataset is suitable for visual analysis and map presentation and can be used as a background layer together with other thematic datasets.

The hillshade is based on the DHM/Terrain model, which represents terrain elevation relative to mean sea level (DVR90), with buildings, vegetation and other surface objects removed. The original terrain model is based on nationwide airborne LiDAR surveys collected during 2005–2007 and subsequently processed and quality assured.

Type som metadata beskriver: Dataset

Beskrivelse: The hillshade is derived from the Danish Digital Terrain Model 2007 (DHM/Terrain 2007), produced by the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure (SDFI). The original terrain model is based on nationwide airborne LiDAR surveys collected during 2005–2007 and subsequently processed through extensive calculation and quality assurance procedures.

For this dataset, the terrain model has been downsampled to a spatial resolution of 10 metres, after which the hillshade was generated based on terrain slope and aspect. The dataset represents a visualisation of terrain forms only and does not contain independent elevation data.
