Prices start from £5
Features and benefits
Ordnance Survey’s Land-Form PANORAMA data is a dataset representing the physical shape of the real world. The example shown includes the contours as supplied overlaid on a coloured relief model of the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The DTM is supplied only as a grid of points with associated heights.
This product offers many exciting opportunities for modelling the real world more closely by the use of three dimensional computing techniques.
The data supports such applications as:
The data includes:
- Land-Form PANORAMA contour tiles, which includes contours, spot heights, breakline, coastline, lakes, and ridge and form lines.
- Land-Form PANORAMA digital terrain model (DTM) tiles – a 50 m grid of heighted points derived from the contour product.
Land-Form PANORAMA benefits
- Contours are in vector format and are at 10 m elevation intervals.
- National cover.
- Spot heights are to the nearest metre.
- The accuracy of digital contours is typically better than 3 m (root mean square error (RMSE)).
- DTM consists of height values at each intersection of a 50 m horizontal grid.
Land-form PANORAMA applications
This product offers many exciting opportunities for modelling the real world more closely by the use of three dimensional computing techniques.
The data supports such applications as:
- terrain analysis;
- drainage analysis;
- visual impact studies; and
- radio wave propagation.
Key Points
| Scale | 1:50000 |
|---|---|
| Mapping type | Vector product made up of points and lines with height attributes |
| Style | Height information in both contour and gridded height format |
| Used in | Terrain analysis; drainage analysis; visual impact studies; and radio wave propagation. |
| Can be put into | Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) |
| Combinations | This dataset is best combined with some form of ground mapping whether it be an actual mapping product such as 1:50,000 scale raster or a digital aerial photo. This then provides a useful geographic basis and improves rendered models. |
| Available as | DXF |
| Cannot | Be used with out a Computer Aided Design (CAD) or Geographical Information System (GIS) capable of handling DXF |
| Also consider | We currently have access to various levels of more detailed height information off-line so please call if you require more detail. |
