LPS Northern Ireland Digital Terrain Model
Features and benefits
Available in 10m grid intervals.
Can be used in the electronic process of representing topography in 3 dimensions, including slope and aspect maps.
Using Geographical Information System (GIS) sofware, orthophotographs and maps can be draped over a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) derived from a DTM to create a 3D view of the land surface.
DTM data can also be used in a GIS to create thematic maps, grids and contours.
Technical Information
- The DTM is derived from OSNI’s Orthophotography dataset.
- All height measurements refer to elevation in metres above mean sea level at Belfast Lough.
- DTMs can be used to generate 3D TINs.
- 95% of the data is within +/-1.0m accuracy.
centremapslive.com recommends Global Mapper as an extremely useful tool for handling purchased height data. View, convert, take sections or perform viewshed analysis on height data with this powerful software (low cost and minimal computer spec required) find out more here.
