Jul 4, 2017 · They offer useful specialist maps - eg large scale summit maps for complex tops and fell running maps for popular races and challenges. The contours are visible using a night-vision red light, while they are pretty much unreadable on the OS map.

LiDAR surveys are undertaken during winter months (approximately November to April each year) when trees are without leaves, to ensure the most accurate survey of the ground. Up to 500,000 measurements per second are made of the ground, measuring height to an accuracy of better than ±15cm. (This is the root mean squared error or RMSE, quantifying t...
For a 1m DSM surface model the point cloud will have an average point density across the survey of at least 1 point per square metre (ppsqm). For 50cm this increases to 4 ppsqm and 25cm resolution is 16ppsqm. The point density is calculated for the DSM and not the DTM, as under vegetation the point density that makes up the DTM will not necessarily...
The DSM or DTM LiDAR data also can be presented in a very wide range of different ways. It is often styled using a colour ramp for altitude, where different heights are represented by different colours or shades. Generally, one colour will blend into the next in a graduated progression. A hillshade is a different visualisation technique which illus...
The geographic extent of available LiDAR data continues to grow substantially. By 2021, the Environment Agency had flown over 95% of England at 1 metre resolution. Natural Resources Wales have LiDAR DTM and DSM data at 1 metre covering 100% of Wales. In Scotland, around 45,000 km2were available by 2021, which due to some overlaps covers around 40% ...
The LiDAR DTM 50cm-1m layer shows the processed LiDAR data using the Relief Visualisation Toolbox with multi-direction hillshade.

In early 2022, we were pleased to collaborate with the Miner 2 Major Veiled Landscape projectto add their 16 cm resolution LiDAR models of the Sherwood Forest, flown in 2021, to our website. This is the highest resolution LiDAR imagery that has been flown of this area (covering some 220 square kilometres) between Retford to the north and Nottingham...
We are very grateful to Richard Pearson for downloading and reprocessing the Welsh DTM layer. This has now expanded coverage to the whole of Wales at 1 metre resolution, and also enhanced it, using the Relief Visualisation Toolbox(RVT). Richard's workflow split up the very large TIFF image file (which covers all of Wales) into sections, processed t...
We are very grateful to Richard Pearson for downloading and reprocessing the English DTM layer. This has enhanced the original LiDAR data, with its single-direction hillshade, using the Relief Visualisation Toolbox(RVT). RVT generates more useful visualisations from the same source data, creating 3 channel (Red, Green and Blue) hillshade images whi...
The LiDAR layers we display on this website for England and Wales can be easily downloaded or used as Web Map Services within desktop GIS applications. Please consult the Environment Agency LiDAR datasets (for England), or DataMapWales LiDAR datasets(for Wales) for further details on this. The Scottish LiDAR DSM / DTM layers can be downloaded or us...
Introduction. This article looks at how maps can aid research, the history of the Ordnance Survey and analysis of areas of an old six inch map located to the north of Wigan. Today with the invention of Sat Nav and the introduction of Google maps and street view finding your way around has never been easier.
Most mesh bodies use the basic Linden body UV maps although some have attempted to fix some of the more obvious problems with those (usually in fingers and toes). The heads are less uniform, most mesh heads started with the LL map and some tweaked it, usually around the eyes and mouth, which is why some skins look almost good,
Feb 12, 2017 · Zoning maps and the plans to reinforce, adapt or replace land use decisions are the basis for endless heated civic meetings, legal action, and political wrangling because they are recognized as the tools for controlling cities, creating jobs, winning votes, establishing legacies, and making money.
Feb 10, 2022 · Maps can illustrate data beyond numbers, so we can actually see the physical reality and the projection of those numbers onto a map. Once we see the visual, reality hits and the story unfolds. Then we can do something about it. Maps help people better understand their physical space so we can digest it visually then think about it critically.
