Mastering Geospatial Raster Manipulation: QGIS Raster Mosaicing and Clipping

Here, we spend some time on how to manipulate basic but vital elements of raster data in GIS by using QGIS software. Get to know the fundamental aspects of how to properly mosaic and clip vector data so as to produce stunning and custom maps. Let us begin with the organization of the methodology on raster mosaicing, the process of stacking multiple raster layers to form one seamless image and the effective joint, matching and blend of these layers. Following that we will look at clipping which allow the user to extract a subset of your raster data, which increases the accuracy of a geographic analysis by only pulling out areas of interest.

In each step it will familiarize yourself with the QGIS tools and approach to the processes with raster data in its management and manipulation. No matter if you are planning to perform advanced quantitative analysis in your project, or on the other hand you are preparing a neat set of maps for presentation, this tutorial will surely provide you with sufficient knowledge of functioning with the raster layers to face this task in the future.
