Urban Atlas Building Height 2012 (raster 10 m), Europe - version 3, Oct. 2022

This metadata refers to the Copernicus Building Height 2012 third version. The dataset is a 10m high resolution raster layer containing height information generated for selected cities and urban areas in the EEA38 member countries and United Kingdom as part of the Urban atlas suite of products. Height information is based on satellite data and derived datasets like the digital surface model (DSM), the digital terrain model (DTM) and the normalized DSM.

The satellite data sources are IRS-P5 stereo images for the capital cities and VHR false stereo pairs extracted from the MAXAR catalogue (WV-01, WV-02, GE-01 and IK) for the remaining areas supplemented by LiDAR data as additional option.

Access to data is based on a principle of full, open and free access as established by the Copernicus data and information policy Regulation (EU) No 1159/2013 of 12 July 2013. This regulation establishes registration and licensing conditions for GMES/Copernicus users.

Free, full and open access to this data set is made on the conditions that:

1. When distributing or communicating Copernicus dedicated data and Copernicus service information to the public, users shall inform the public of the source of that data and information.

2. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the Union.

3. Where that data or information has been adapted or modified, the user shall clearly state this.

4. The data remain the sole property of the European Union. Any information and data produced in the framework of the action shall be the sole property of the European Union. Any communication and publication by the beneficiary shall acknowledge that the data were produced “with funding by the European Union”.

Statement
This product is generated based on satellite (LIDAR) information acquired as close as possible to the defined reference year. Based on these images a digital surface model (DSM) is generated. Afterwards a digital terrain model (DTM) is derived from the DSM with different filter algorithms and the assistance of Urban Atlas 2012 datasets. The calculation of the normalized DSM is done by a simple subtraction of the DTM from the DSM. The final product is then clipped based on UA 2012 building blocks and fully quality controlled.
