Geographic Processing Optimization: Learn about the QGIS 3.0 Advanced — Tools Essential to Your Project
The user-friendly interface, low cost and robust geoprocessing tools are well known and recognized in QGIS. Its high popularity is due to its open source aspect, that is, QGIS is configured as a free development model for the design or creation of tools.
Thus, the use of QGIS goes far beyond the basic concepts and techniques of geographic data processing. As more advanced geospatial processes are considered table integration methods, advanced geoprocessing techniques, processing models, and python command development, consisting of the key to optimizing geographic processing.
- Table integration methods: The process of integrating tables of information (excel spreadsheets or tabular data) with geographic data is fundamental in the context of spatial data management. As tabular data is classified as non-spatial, integration with geographic vector structures ensures their spatial representation in the QGIS environment.
- Advanced geoprocessing techniques: Creating multiple buffer rings, tessellation, pre-spaced point generation are some of the vector processing tools approached during the course. Raster processing tools are also covered, such as density extraction, interpolated surface generation,
and three-dimensional surface generation (Digital Terrain Model) features. Advanced techniques guarantee information accuracy and agility in processing. - Processing Models: Processing routines are solutions suitable to large projects within the GIS environment that deliver productivity and time savings. With the well-designed processing architecture, most of the resources used can be automated to generate the product with high
agility. - Python Development: The command line interface, along with additional operations such as loops and sentences, can be added to create highly flexible processing streams. The creation of plug-ins and their dissemination to the QGIS community will also be addressed in the context of the course.
To deepen your knowledge within the QGIS environment, these methods ensure detailed information and faster processing.
“Tutorial Básico do QGIS”, followed by “Ementa do curso de QGIS 3.0 avançado”, will certify the Portuguese speaking students in the use of the most complex resources and with high process optimization capabilities, starting from scratch, and using open source software.
The students will leave the course mastering advanced features to be applied in any project theme.
