A building outline is a 2D representation of the roof outline of buildings which have been classified from aerial imagery using a combination of automated and manual processes to extract and orthogonalise building roof outlines. Structures greater than or equal to 10 square meters are captured in this dataset, with exception in National Parks, Conservation Areas, and Wildlife Areas. Each building polygon represents a building outline and this may include spaces such as garages and large sheds. The building outlines represented in this dataset should not be confused with *building footprints*, which are 2D representations of where a building touches the ground. .. figure:: _static/footprint.png - :scale: 100 % :alt: comparison of footprint with building outlines Image 1.
