Copernicus Hotspot Monitoring Services — Urban Atlas: Production of Digital Building Block Heigth Models

Description

The objective of this contract is to continue the build of the digital building height models for selected cities and urban areas with population up to 50 000 inhabitants in order to obtain a better insight and toolset into measuring urban density. The task consists in generating digital building height models for for selected cities and urban centres for the reference year 2012, covering an area ranging between 190 000 and 210 000 km2 (extending the existing dataset that currently covers 25 656 km2) which will entail for each area or interest the production of the actual raster data (10 x 10 m) in GeoTIFF format, an XML-File with metadata, document with product description and result of accuracy assessment and pixel based information layer containing the information of the year of origin of the underlying input data (VHR stereo data or other suitable sources).
