They are also more computationally intensive to render, and large datasets can take a long time to draw on screen. While both formats store elevation data, TINs are less widely supported in GIS and CAD packages. An elevation raster (grid) dataset represents the height of the ground using pixel values. If you want to try out this example, you can download the demo dataset which has the aerial image and Jupyter notebook with the Python code.A Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) is a vector representation of a ground surface. Rgb_dataset = rasterio.open(output_filename, 'w', **metadata) If (x and index != 0 and index != (dataset.height - 1)): # The following returns an array where each item is True/False based on the condition `red=0` 0) and fill that with the average of adjacent rows. # This script shows how to read an image where certain rows have missing data (i.e. Below is a script that shows how to solve this problem in Python with the help of rasterio and numpy libraries. Those who have taken my Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis course, would know that this particular problem motivated me to learn Python 15 years back since there was no readily available solution. If you have large amounts of data with such data gaps, fixing them in QGIS manually is not feasible. Usually when you have such issues in your dataset, it is persistent across all source images. Here’s the animation showing before and after versions. The resulting merged raster will have 3 bands and the no-data gaps will be filled with interpolated values from neighboring pixels. Enter a filename for the output and click Run. Check the Place each input file into a separate band box. In the Merge tool, select all 3 individual rasters. Search and locate the Merge tool from the Processing Toolbox. You should have 3 separate rasters with no data values filled. Repeat the process for Band 2 (Green) and Band 2 (Blue), choosing appropriate file names for them. Saving the file with prefix such as 01_ is important because the next step will merge the bands in the alphabetical order of the file names. Save the output as 01_red.tif and click Run. Set the Maximum distance to search out for values to interpolate to 1, since we have only 1 pixel gap. Now we are ready to run the Fill nodata tool from the Processing Toolbox Set the value 0 for Assign a specified nodata value to output bands option and enter a filename for the converted raster. In our example the nodata pixel value is 0. From Processing → ToolBox, search and locate the Translate (convert format)tool Otherwise, the first step would be to set the raster’s nodata value to the pixel value of the data gap. If the source raster has a nodata value set and it is the same as the missing data value, then you can skip this step. GDAL comes with a tool gdal_fillnodata that can be used from the Processing Toolbox within QGIS. This is available as a few separate algorithms in QGIS under Processing → Toolbox → Raster Analysis → Grid … Fixing Data Gaps in QGIS If you are looking to interpolate point data to create rasters, you should use the gdal_grid tool instead. It also works for very small gaps in varying data such as aerial imagery. As pointed out in the documentation, this is suitable for filling missing regions in continuous raster data such as elevation. The method shown here applies an inverse distance weighted interpolation and smoothing using the gdal_fillnodata tool. First one using QGIS and another one with pure Python. I will outline 2 approaches for fixing this. If the data gap is small, it can be effectively addressed by interpolating values from neighboring pixels. ( Note: The data gap is simulated using a python script and is not part of the original dataset) Source Image: © Commission for Lands (COLA) Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar (RGoZ), Downloaded from OpenAerialMap. These could be the result of sensor malfunction, processing errors or data corruption. When working with raster data, you may sometimes need to deal with data gaps.
