Product details

Name	Urban Atlas Building Height
Acronym	UA - BH 2012
Description	A 10m high resolution raster layer containing height information is generated for core urban areas of selected cities (capitals in EU28 + EFTA) as part of the Urban atlas. Height information is based on IRS-P5 stereo images and derived datasets like the digital surface model, the digital terrain model and the normalized DSM.
