As a freshly graduated geomatics engineer, we must have always been fascinated by the possibilities of using technology to make a difference in people’s lives. And my role in the Disaster Risk Reduction – Young Leaders Fellowship program had given me an opportunity to fulfill this passion.
I’m a geomatics engineer. When I passed out from my college, I didn’t know clearly what to do? What is the next step after being passed out? I was pretty confused and worried about my career. I used to text my seniors, call and visit them personally for suggestions. This article will help all the freshers to choose their career wisely.
Survey is the first step before any construction. It requires time and effort to collect a desired data and its difficult to undo the survey. So, here are my of […]
Projection is the process of transformation of higher dimensional space (3D) into a lower dimensional space (2D). If we talk about measurement, Projected coordinate system is more accurate than Geographic coordinate system. It is one of the frequently done task in GIS.
There are many methods or sources for obtaining contour like cartographic source (digitalization of old topo map), stereo-pairs, lidar data, photogrammetric methods, GIS softwares etc.
One of the data source for contour is Digital Elevation Model (DEM). In this tutorial we will learn how we can get contour through DEM in QGIS. Follow the following steps:
The main objective of this tutorial is to learn technique of generating slope from DEM. After getting slope we will also reclassify slope. We are going to do this in QGIS.
Have you ever seen a map? What do you see? You see color, shape, some text, symbols or icons, geographic reference layers and some other thing that tries to give some message. Map presents some information from the data.
Can you read a map? Professionally I’m a Cartographer and frequently show my maps to my friends. Somehow they manage to get the information from the map but they don’t understand all the things given in the map.
Our LULC raster has DN values in its pixels and we have labeled it by symbology under different classes like ‘WaterBodies’, ‘Forest’, ‘Urban’ etc. But unlike vectors we can’t directly store values in raster creating a new field in open attribute table explaining DN ‘1’ means ‘WaterBodies’ or something like that. Also raster with DN value meanings(like forest, urban etc.) can be used later to give rank to different classes in Multicriteria Decision Analysis.
