QGIS is a powerful and user friendly GIS software. The user can represent points and style them according to the measured values. This tutorial deals with the legend representation on map canvas for a better geospatial data analysis.
Legend representation is done with just 6 lines of code on PyQGIS, the Python tool of QGIS.
Drone imagery is a powerful for geospatial analysis on small scales and high resolutions. The availability to take drone images and the open source tools available allow the user to generate orthophotos with resolutions of less than 1 meter and fully compatible with SIG softwares as QGIS.
This tutorial show the procedure to make an orthophoto with WebODM based on drone images from a pinneapple field.
Read MoreWebOpenDroneMap is a friendly Graphical User Interfase (GUI) of OpenDroneMap. It enhances the capabilities of OpenDroneMap by providing a easy tool for processing drone imagery with bottoms, process status bars, and a new way to store images. WebODM allows to work by projects, so the user can create different projects and process the related images.
As a whole, WebODM in Windows is a implementation of PostgresSQL, Node, Django and OpenDroneMap and Docker. The software instalation requires 6gb of disk space plus Docker. It seem huge but it is the only way to process drone imagery in Windows using just open source software. We definitely see a huge potential of WebODM for the image processing, therefore we have done this tutorial for the installation and we will post more tutorial for the application of WebODM with drone images.
Read MoreIn this tutorial we will show you how to install QSWAT, QGIS interface for SWAT.
Read MoreSWAT is an open source model that can be used with GIS data to simulate hydrological processes in basins. The SWAT complement is a tool to evaluate soil and water and basin management. The QGIS interface is called QSWAT. The latest version is QSWAT 1.4 which was released on Feb. 2, 2017.
Read MoreSentinel-2 carries an innovative wide swath high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for a new perspective of our land and vegetation. The mission is based on a constellation of two identical satellites in the same orbit, 180° apart for optimal coverage and data delivery. Together they cover all Earth’s land surfaces, large islands, inland and coastal waters every five days at the equator (source ESA).
This is a group of videos called "Working with Sentinel 2 Imagery on QGIS" that shows the complete procedure to download, represent and process Sentinel 2 images in QGIS.
Read MoreOne of the most common tasks when working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is the representation of points from a spreadsheet to a shapefile. Here, we will explain the steps to achieve this.
Read MoreThe study of the environment, the understanding of the water cycle / atmospheric processes and the interaction with the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems need advanced analysis tools. It is important to understand how the environment works and the potential impacts of our actions in the future. This goes further than a regulatory approach, we need a constant search and evolution of codes and models and this is where open source software has important advantages.
This article shows the most important open source software that can be used to make the different sections of an EIA.
Read MoreQGIS development in the past years has been impressive for an open source software. The current version is 2.18 Las Palmas. Each version is better than the previous one when it comes to functionalities, amount of tools, and bug fixing. In my opinion, for an intermediate QGIS user, the amount of new tools are bigger than the ability to learn them. Being up to date with the latest QGIS characteristics requires quite some time.
Read MoreThe spatial analysis world is dominated by two software: ArcGIS and QGIS. Both have been available for years and have a strong fanbase. The use of each one of these software generates a duality or polarization of the preferences and opinions about Geographic Information Systems tools (GIS). This article is not about showing the advantages of deficiencies of any of them, but to show the reasons why QGIS is a good option.
Read MoreThis question has been popular for the last three or four years. I have been using Quantum GIS (QGIS) from version 0.8, and now QGIS is on version 2.4.
