Extract point value from a raster file with Python, Geopandas and Rasterio - Tutorial

View fullsize

This tutorial has a complete case of spatial analysis for the extraction of point data from a raster dataset with Python and its libraries Geopandas and Rasterio. The procedure is entirely geospatial and uses shapefiles and tifs as input data; data calculation was performed on a Jupyter Lab environment.

This is the complete Python script:

#import required libraries
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import geopandas as gpd
import rasterio
from rasterio.plot import show

#open point shapefile
