Height data – laser

Elevation data is collected through various laser projects, and the data is made available at heightdata.no. Each project is entered with metadata in Geonorge and reference to the project in the map solution.

Elevation data provides a detailed description of the terrain and surface. The data is established as point clouds from airborne laser scanning or matching from aerial images. Point clouds have varying density (point/m²) adapted to different purposes. From the point clouds, elevation models are generated on the grid format of terrain (DTM) and surface (DOM).
