New South Wales 2 metre Contour Dataset

The coverage of this dataset is over the full state of New South Wales. The 2 metre Contours are generated off a 5m DEM created from a combination of 1m and 2m resolution LiDAR DEMs and 5m resolution Photogrammetric DEMs using TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) method of averaging ground heights to formulate a regular grid. Data is provided in Esri Shape file format.

New South Wales 5 metre Resolution Digital Elevation Model

The coverage of this dataset is over the Western New South Wales region. The 5 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is produced from a combination of 1m and 2m resolution LiDAR DEMs and 5m resolution Photogrammetric DEMs using TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) method of averaging ground heights to formulate a regular grid. This data set contains ground surface model in ascii grid format derived from various Airborne Digital Sensors.

New South Wales 5 metre Resolution Slope Model Dataset

The coverage of this dataset is over the Western New South Wales region. The 5 metre Slope (SLP) is produced from a combination of 1m and 2m resolution LiDAR DEMs and 5m resolution Photogrammetric DEMs using TIN (Triangular Irregular Network) method of averaging ground heights to formulate a regular grid. This data set contains ground surface model in ascii grid format derived from various Airborne Digital Sensors.

New South Wales 5 metre Resolution Aspect Model Dataset

The coverage of this dataset is over the Western New South Wales region. The 5 metre Aspect (ASP) is produced from a combination of 1m and 2m resolution LiDAR DEMs and 5m resolution Photogrammetric DEMs using TIN ( Triangular Irregular Network ) method of averaging ground heights to formulate a regular grid. This data set contains ground surface model in ascii grid format derived from various Airborne Digital Sensors.Dataset Producers and Contributors:Administrative Spatial Programs | DCS Spatial ServicesTRIM Number
