Raster Data Processing

Learn how to work with raster data in QGIS - from loading and styling to advanced operations like georeferencing, interpolation, and terrain analysis.

Loading & Styling

# Topic Description
1 Loading Raster Layer Import raster datasets like GeoTIFF, JPEG, PNG into QGIS
2 Display Layer Information View raster metadata, extent, resolution, and band details
3 Applying Symbology Apply color ramps, stretch, and rendering styles to rasters

Data Management

# Topic Description
4 Basic Statistics Calculate min, max, mean, and standard deviation of raster values
5 Conversion To Other Formats Export rasters to GeoTIFF, JPEG, PNG, and other formats
6 Invalid CRS Check Identify and fix missing or incorrect coordinate reference systems
7 Georeferencing Assign geographic coordinates to scanned maps or unreferenced images
8 Define No Data Value Set pixels to be treated as missing or invalid data

Raster Processing

# Topic Description
9 Mosaic Combine multiple raster tiles into a single seamless layer
10 Reclassifying Remap raster values into new categories or ranges
11 Resampling Change pixel size and resolution using interpolation methods
12 Interpolation Generate continuous surfaces from point data (IDW, TIN, etc.)

Terrain Analysis

# Topic Description
13 Hillshade Create shaded relief maps from elevation data
14 Aspect Calculate compass direction of slope faces
15 Sieve Remove small isolated pixel clusters from rasters
16 Slope Calculate steepness of terrain in degrees or percent
