BASIC INFORMATION

Core identification information for the metadata record
Digital Terrain Model (MDT 2015- 2017) 3D
Albania (ALB)

The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) describes the three-dimensional shape of the Earth's surface, including all static features located on it. This product was obtained from the implementation of the project "Digital aerial photography of the territory of the Republic of Albania, production of oriented aerial photos, creation of LIDAR data, digital terrain model, orthophoto and training". This project was implemented by Decision of the Regional Development Committee no. 14 dated 23.09.2014 with funding from the Albanian Government. The digital terrain model was obtained from the implementation of the project "Digital aerial photography of the territory of the Republic of Albania, production of oriented aerial photos, creation of LIDAR data, digital terrain model, orthophoto and training". The equipment (Scanner) used was of the type "RIEGL LMS-Q560 Laser Scanner". The project area was 28748 Km/2, which includes the total area of the Republic of Albania. The product was divided according to the project zoning into 3 main lots with different accuracies for LIDAR scanning and the creation of DTM & DSM from LIDAR scanning as well as the production of RGB & CIR orthophotos. The division of the territory was carried out according to the lots which are: LOT 1, Urban Area 1028 Km2; LOT 2, Rural Area 9 960 Km2; LOT 3, Mountain Area 17349 Km2. The digital terrain model is available in Geotiff image format with a resolution of 2 x 2 m. The vertical accuracy, expressed in root mean square error in height for the product in question is: Lot1, Urban Area ±10cm; LOT 2, Rural Area ±20 cm; LOT 3, Mountain Area ±40 cm. The data are in accordance with the standard with the Council of Ministers No. 398, dated 19.06.2019, On the approval of the document "State Standards for Technical Specifications of Geospatial Information in Albania - Topic: Digital Terrain Model".
