Statement

The product Hillshade DTM 1m is a slope shading view of the digital terrain model (DTM) at 1m resolution.

The source data used to produce this Hillshade DTM 1m are the DTM at a 1m-resolution from the regions: data from Digitaal Vlaanderen (former AIV and former AGIV) for the Flemish Region, data from the SPW for the Walloon Region and data from Paradigm for the Region of Brussels-Capital. These regional DTM are derived from the clouds of points obtained during the LiDAR campaign (flight of 9 October 2021 for Brussels, from 19 February 2021 to 5 March 2022 for Wallonia and from 20 February 2013 to 20 April 2015 for Flanders).

In order to create this representation, we have used the following parameters:

- Azimut: 315° (angle of the fictitious light source relative to the north)

- Angle: 45° (angle of the fictitious light source above the horizon)

The hillshade view allows to create a graphic effect on the map which gives an idea of the relief on the terrain.

LiDAR data coming from regions do not stop at borders, the coverage of the data extends beyond the limits of Belgium and offers a buffer of variable size all around Belgium.
