Hillshade

The hillshades are presented as a regular homogeneous grid of points indicating the grey level value resulting from their orientation with respect to the chosen fictitious light source. The 1m hillshade is the view obtained by hillshading of the 1m DTM. The 5m and 20m hillshades are the views obtained by hillshading of the 5m and 20m DTM.

Explanation: The dataset’s compliance with the technical requirements as defined by the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 has not been checked

Statement: The 'Hillshade' product is a hillshading view of DTMs at different resolutions. The source data used for the production of this 'Shading' product are the DTMs at 1m, 5m or 20m resolution.

To create this view, we used the following parameters:

- Azimuth: 315° (angle of the fictitious light source to North)

- Altitude: 45° (angle of the dummy light source above the horizon)

Hillshading views allow for the creation of a graphic shading effect that gives an idea of the terrain relief on the map representations.
