QGIS Tutorial – 3D Map view in QGIS 3.4.6

Hi GIS learners here in this series of QGIS Tutorial we learn 3D Map view in QGIS 3.4.6. For 3D view you need DEM – Digital Elevation Model. If DEM alien to you then first understand what is DEM.

What is DEM?

Digital Elevation Model abbreviated as DEM is a 3D view or raster representation of terrain and its is in grid form. Each cell represents a value and each cell or pixel have their single attribute. We can define it as an ordered array of numbers that represent the spatial distribution of terrain attributes. The quality of DEM is a measure of how accurate elevation is at each pixel level and how accurately is the morphology presented.

QGIS Tutorial – 3D Map view in QGIS 3.4.6

For Creating 3D Map you need to Download DEM. After downloading DEM file you need to unzip it. (Extract hgt file) Then in the menu select go to layer >> add layer >> add raster

Upload the raster file.

Uploaded DEM is displayed on the canvas.

Now go to the layer panel, right click on the published layer and select properties.

In the menu bar click on View and tap on New 3D Map View. Then following screen will appear.

If you receive error message then change the CRS to WGS 84/ World Mercator – EPSG 3395. Message image is displayed below.

Convert Shapefile to DXF

Shapefile is a vector GIS format developed by Esri. It stores geographical information data. Shapefile have three geometries point, line and polygon. GIS data can be stored in different formats and the conversion of data from one format to other is also possible.

So in this post we convert Shapefile to DXF. Before conversion lets know what is DXF ?

What is DXF ?

DXF is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) fil format and it stands for Drawing Interchange Format or Drawing Exchange Format. DXF files make it possible to share drawing data and text-based formats across different CAD applications. DXF files are supported in several 3D applications and are completely open-source, so users can access AutoCAD files without using Autodesk programmes.

Convert Shapefile to DXF

For Shapefile to DXF conversion, go to GIS MapOG Online Convert Shapefile to DXF Tool, after logging in with your registered email and password. If you are a new user, click the Sign Up button in the Login popup and register to GIS MAPOG by filling the details.

There are three main steps for using GIS Converter:

Upload the data
Choose the format to which it should be converted
Download the converted file.

Step one is to upload your Shapefile which you want to convert. You can upload your file from system or select from the Recent Files.

Here we have uploaded the Shapefile of the Texas state of USA.

Step two is to select the output format from the dropdown for the converted file, in this case its DXF. You can also set the Coordinate Reference System of your preference. As a default CRS will set to WGS 84 (World) [EPSG:4326]. Now Click on the Convert File button.

After a few seconds, your Shapefile will be converted to a Shapefile file and will be available for downloading.

You can also choose to style the layer or continue with further conversion process by clicking the Convert Another File button.

What is Remote Sensing ?

Hey GIS learner today we assimilate about what is Remote Sensing ? The word Remote means not exactly in contact or physical contact, something which is situated far away or distant, far away could be slightly far away or very far away and Sensing means getting information and data.

In the above gif you can see sensor senses the information from different sources.

Download free Satellite Images

What is Remote Sensing ?

Remote Sensing is any technique used to gather information about an object that doesn’t require touch or physical contact with the object.

Formal definition of Remote Sensing given by AAPR in 1988 is Remote Sensing is an art, science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting imagery and digital representation of energy patterns derived from non-contact sensor system. Science means how scientifically accurately we are measuring and acquiring information.

So when we plan development of any area we need to map or see the what is the area, where it is and how much it is for this we uses satellite data.

Humans are also naturally designed remote sensors with the aid of their eyes, ears and nose.

Process of Remote Sensing

Simply we can say anything which record or get information from any object without touching it physically like camera, x- ray machine etc termed as sensor. Suppose you are recording video from a camera (mobile camera or any professional camera) . Suddenly power fails and there is no light then in that situation camera is on (recording) but it couldn’t detect or record object. So with this one thing is clear that we need some light source or any illumination source for capturing information. Energy source is the first requirement for remote sensing. Conventionally Illumination would be only in the visible spectrum as our eyes perceive light. Remote sensing is also done in wavelength like in infra red or radar waves.

In the above gif you can see illumination source is natural i.e Sun emit radiation (light) on Earth surface. Some quantity of emitted light is absorbed by the surface of the Earth and remaining light is reflected through the surrounding of the surface. And that reflected radiation is sensed by the satellite orbit. This type of sensing is known as passive remote sensing. Types of remote sensing are given below.

Classification of Remote Sensing

There are two types of remote sensing technology first is active remote sensing and second is passive remote sensing.

ACTIVE REMOTE SENSORS

These type of Sensors doesn’t depends on Sun energy. Active sensors are used in active remote sensing which uses a platform, which allows sensors to direct energy at a object in the form of electromagnetic radiation for data collection. It measures the energy reflected from the object and gather the information about the object. Examples of such sensors are LIDAR which stands for Light Detection and Ranging which uses light in the form of pulses to measure ranges. In simple words it project laser light to measure the distance of targeted object.

Passive Remote Sensors

Passive sensors can only be used to detect energy when the naturally occurring energy is available. It detect natural radiation that is emitted or reflected by the object or surrounding area being observed. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive sensors. Film photography is one of the example of passive remote sensors.

Remote Sensing: Electromagnetic Spectrum

Energy source is the prime requirement of remote sensing that might be external or internal energy source. It illuminates the target unless the sensed energy emitted through the target

GIS Tutorial – Basic Spatial Elements – Points, Lines and Polygons

In GIS (Geographical Information System) vector data represents the information in points, lines and polygons. In GIS, you connect data with geography. So in this blog we discuss about GIS Tutorial basic spatial elements – Points, Lines and Polygons. Vector data formats represents geographical space that is intuitive and reminiscent of analog maps.

With the MAPOG Spatial Tool You can Create Point, Line and Polygon Shape Online

Basic Spatial Elements – Points, Lines and Polygons

Vector Point Data –

A point uses a single coordinate pair to define its location. Attributes of point describes its features. Points are considered to have no dimension even though in real world it have dimensions. Examples of Point data is power poles, telephone poles, a building.

In the below GIF you can see point feature.

In the below image you can see different points but all are representing railway station.

Vector Line Data –

When these points are connected then point data is converted into vector line data but it should not be enclosed . It uses a ordered set of coordinates. Line feature have multiple lines and points. Attributes may attach in every line, node and vertices. Hence each line may have multiple attributes rows of table. Examples of vector line data is road lines, topographic lines, power line, object outlines.

In the above GIF you can see vector line feature. It defines GIS very well by connecting data with location.

Vector Polygon Data –

When lines are connected into enclosed shape then this type of data termed as polygon data. Polygon should be closed. The start and end point should have the same coordinates. Examples of vector polygon feature are school boundary, city or any political line.

Above GIF showing the vector polygon feature.

MAPOG Online Tool to Create Line Polygon and Point

This is all about vector point, line and polygon feature. We have learned that vector data is used to represent real world data into point, line and polygon features. And each vector feature has attribute which shows its information. We try our level best, still you have doubt please do comment below.
