Hillshade (elevation model)
Hillshade (elevation model) is a raster dataset visualising the elevation of the terrain. There are five product versions available in which the pixel sizes are 2, 8, 32, 64, 128 and 512 metres. Pixel size 2 m has been produced of the dataset Elevation model 2 m. The other sizes have been produced of the dataset Elevation model 10 m. The material does not contain elevation values; it is a greyscale image that visualises the direction and steepness of hills.
The product belongs to the open data of the National Land Survey of Finland.

- Purpose
-
The dataset Hillshade can be used as a background map material to visualise the elevation of the terrain. Together with the dataset Elevation zones (opacity 15–50%), Hillshade shows the topography and elevation of the terrain even better. It can be used as transparent also together with a topographic or background map to visualise the topography of the terrain.

- Statement
-
Elevation model 2 m has been used as the reference dataset data for Hillshade 2 m. Elevation model 10 m has been used as the reference dataset for other pixel sizes.
The solar elevation angle used is 45 degrees. The altitude has been enhanced by using a Z-factor as follows:
Hillshade 2 m: 3-fold
Hillshade 8 m: 5-fold
Hillshade 32 m: 5-fold
Hillshade 64 m: 10-fold
Hillshade 128 m: 10-fold
Hillshade 512 m: 15-fold
