Sampling Raster Data in QGIS

This tutorial aims at shaking the groundwork and understanding of Sampling raster data in the QGIS environment. Sampling raster data is very important in the evaluation of geographic information since with it you can get the value of the layer at specific points or positions. We shall begin by Calling raster data into QGIS then we use the “Sampling “tool to take data at specific points. This way will enable you to know the distribution of values in your raster and it can be applicable in several areas for instance in monitoring and management of environments and resources.

We will assist in the definition of the sampling points, determination of the right raster layer, and the settings of the sampling parameters for proper results. After completing this tutorial, you will be able to extract and analyze the raster data quite easily and hence, integrate this information into your other GIS projects. Regardless of the field, be it environment and ecology or urban and regional planning, this method will improve data analysis skills within the QGIS software.
