    Practical No.: 2: A) Exploring and Managing Raster Data: Adding Raster Layers, Raster Styling and Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Akshata Pardule
    This document provides instructions for exploring and analyzing raster data in QGIS. It describes how to add raster layers, style the raster symbology, perform raster calculations to find differences between years, and classify the results. It also explains how to mosaic multiple raster files together and clip the mosaic to the extent of a vector mask layer, restricting the raster analysis to a particular geographic area. The goal is to analyze changes in agricultural land from 1990 to 2000 using raster data and to clip the results to India's administrative boundaries.

    Principles of Geographic Information Systems TYBSc (IT), Sem - VI

    Practical No.: 2
    A) Exploring and Managing Raster data: Adding raster layers, raster styling and analysis

    1. Add Raster layer.

    2. Browse a file “glds90ag60.asc” and click on Add button, similarly add “glds00ag60.asc”
    file and click on Add button.
    3. On the next screen set CRS as EPSG:4326.
    4. Right click on “glds90ag60” layer and select “properties”.

    5. Select “Symbology”. In “Render type” select “Singleband pseudocolor”. Set 0 in min


    textbox and 240 in max textbox. In “Interpolation” select “Linear”. In “color” menu
    select “Spectral”. Click on Apply and then Ok buttons.

    6. Go to Raster  Raster Calculator...

    7. Click on … button, menu will appear select the path where you want to save output.
    Enter name for output file and click on “Save”. Double click on "glds00ag60@1" then
    click on “-” and then double click on "glds90ag60@1".

    8. Click on “OK”. It will create new layer. Select that layer “Right click” on it and select
    properties. In properties select symbology tab.
    9. In “Render type” select “Singleband pseudocolor”. Set -20000 in min textbox and 6000
    in max textbox. In “Interpolation” select “Discrete”. In “color” menu select “Spectral”.
    Remove all classification and add as below using + and – buttons.

    10. Explore an area of your choice and check the raster band value using to verify the
    classification rule. The green pixel shows negative changes and yellow shows positive
    changes.

    B) Mosaicking and Clipping

    11. Go to Layer  Add Layer  Add Raster Layer… Add .tif images.

    12. Go to Raster → Miscellaneous → Merge

    13. In the Merge dialog window provide input layers (select all layers and Press OK). Also, In
    Merge dialog window select a file name and location to save merged images. Press Run
    button and after successful execution click on close button.

    14. You can now deselect individual layers from layer pane and only keep the merged raster
    file

    15. Go to Layer→ Add Vector Layer → select “IND_adm0.shp file” from


    “Practical_No_2_Data\IndiaAdminBoundry” then click on Add button and close it.

    16. From layer properties → select Symbology → select any one of the following then click
    on Apply and ok buttons:

    17. Go to Raster → Extraction → Clip Raster by Mask Layer

    18. Select the merge raster image as input and Ind_adm0 as mask layer.

    19. Select a file name and location for clipped raster.

    20. Press RUN after successful execution click on Close button.
