Make a  topographic map with QGis

Thanks to the SRTM project we can access to a comprehensive world coverage of land elevation data. It has become very simple to create one’s own  topographic maps with QGis . We will discuss here : Download elevation Data To download the  elevation data  of your area of interest , go on page http://viewfinderpanoramas.org/dem3.html This video  shows you   the progress of the download . The data available  corresponds…

The spatial-temporal cube of ArcGis : 2- Hot and Cold Spots

In the previous article (Le Cube spatio-temporel d’ArcGis : 1- découverte) we discussed how to create a spatial-temporal cube from a cloud of XYZ points.   The points are grouped into ” boxes ” (bins) corresponding to 3D pixels. We have discussed how to depict them in an ArcGis Pro 3D scene. In this article we will discuss how to analyze the…

The spatial-temporal cube of ArcGis : 1- discovery

One of the domains of GIS where still remains a lot to be done is the field of temporal analysis  . While almost all the available tools focus on the spatial evolution of a phenomenon, we are left helpless when trying to visualize or analyse a phenomenon that changes as a function of time as well. For some time, we have…
