|-
|| 00:01
||Welcome to this tutorial on '''DEM Analysis''' in '''QGIS'''.

|-
|| 00:07
|| In this tutorial, we will learn to,

|-
|| 00:11
|| Download '''DEM''' data from '''SRTM''' data website.

|-
|| 00:16
|| Show Hillshade of '''DEM'''.

|-
|| 00:19
|| Here I am using

'''Ubuntu Linux '''OS version 16.04

|-
|| 00:25
|| '''QGIS''' version 2.18 and

A working internet connection.

|-
|| 00:33
|| To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with '''QGIS '''interface.

|-
|| 00:39
|| To view the prerequisite tutorials in this series, please visit this website.
|-
|| 00:45
|| '''Digital Elevation Model''' or '''DEM''' is a raster file.

|-
|| 00:50
|| It shows elevation data for each raster cell.

|-
|| 00:55
||'''DEMs''' are used to represent the bare earth terrain.

|-
|| 01:00
|| The terrain is usually devoid of vegetation and man-made features.

|-
|| 01:06
|| '''DEMs''' are used for calculations and analysis of an area, based on the elevation.
|-
|| 01:14
|| Let us download '''DEM '''data.

|-
|| 01:17
|| Open the given link in any web browser.

|-
||01:21
|| '''Shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) data''' website opens.

|-
|| 01:27
|| '''SRTM''' data from this website can be downloaded freely.

|-
|| 01:32
||On the '''Download Manager''' page, the elevation models are arranged into tiles.

|-
|| 01:39
|| Two options for '''Tile Size''' and '''Format''' are available.

|-
|| 01:44
|| We can choose the tile size and format by clicking the radio buttons.

|-
||01:50
||Scroll down the page to the world map.

|-
||01:54
||Use + sign on the left corner of the map to zoom in the world map.

|-
|| 02:00
||Click on '''Maharashtra''' tile.

|-
||02:03
||Click on '''Search''' button located on the top-left corner of the world map.

|-
||02:09
||'''Download''' window opens.

|-
|| 02:12
|| Scroll down to '''Description''' heading.

Click on '''Download SRTM''' link at the bottom.

|-
||02:20
||A dialog-box opens, select '''Save File''' option. Click on '''OK '''button.

|-
|| 02:29
|| On my system, '''zip file '''downloads to the '''Downloads '''folder.

|-
||02:34
|| Extract the contents of the '''zip file'''.

|-
|| 02:38
|| Right-click and select '''Extract Here '''option.

|-
|| 02:43
|| Double-click on the extracted folder.

This is a '''DEM''' '''dataset'''.

|-
|| 02:50
|| Here we see many files with different file extensions.

|-
||02:55
||Close the folder.

|-
||02:57
|| Open the '''QGIS '''interface.

|-
|| 03:00
|| Click on, '''Layer menu '''on the '''menu bar'''.

|-
|| 03:04
|| Select '''Add Layer, '''from the '''sub-menu''', click on '''Add Raster Layer '''option.

|-
|| 03:11
|| '''Data source '''dialog-box''' '''opens.

|-
|| 03:14
|| Navigate to the '''SRTM '''folder downloaded from the '''SRTM ''' website.

|-
|| 03:21
|| From the contents of the folder, select the file with '''.tif '''extension.

Click on '''Open '''button.

|-
||03:31
||On the canvas you will see '''DEM''' of the terrain.

|-
|| 03:36
|| '''DEM''' contains all the '''3D information''' about the terrain.

|-
|| 03:41
|| Each pixel on the raster image represents the average elevation at that location.

This elevation is given in meters.

|-
|| 03:52
|| Dark pixels represent areas with low altitude.

|-
|| 03:57
|| Lighter pixels represent areas with high altitude.

|-
||04:02
||Let us begin the '''DEM '''analysis of this map.

|-
|| 04:07
|| Click on '''Raster '''menu on the menu bar.

|-
|| 04:11
|| Click on '''Analysis''' from drop down.

From the sub-menu click on '''DEM (Terrain models).'''

|-
||04:19
|| '''DEM''' dialog-box opens.

|-
|| 04:22
|| Input file field has '''DEM layer '''as the default selection.

|-
||04:28
|| Click on '''Select '''button next to '''Output file'''.

|-
||04:33
|| '''Save the results to..''' Dialog-box opens.

|-
|| 04:37
|| In the dialog-box, name the file as '''Hillshade.tif.'''

|-
|| 04:44
||I will save it on the '''Desktop'''.

|-
|| 04:47
||Click on '''Save '''button.

|-
||04:50
|| Select''' Hillshade''' as''' Mode '''option.

|-
|| 04:54
||Here by default '''Hillshade '''is already selected.

|-
||04:59
|| Check the check-box next to '''Load into canvas when finished'''.

|-
|| 05:05
||Here by default it is already selected.

|-
|| 05:09
||Leave the default settings as such.

|-
|| 05:12
||Click on '''Ok '''button.

|-
|| 05:15
|| A pop-up box opens with message '''Processing Completed'''.

Click on '''OK''' button.

|-
||05:22
||Click '''OK''' button in the '''Qgis.bin''' dialog-box.

|-
||05:27
||Click on '''Close''' button on the '''DEM''' dialog-box.

|-
||05:32
|| A new layer, '''Hillshade''' is now added in the '''Layers panel'''.

|-
|| 05:37
||On the canvas you will see a raster map in '''Hillshade''' mode.

|-
||05:42
||This map is generated using light and shadow to create a 3D image.

|-
||05:48
|| To make the model more pronounced, we will use '''Hillshade''' as an overlay.

|-
||05:54
|| Now we will change the '''symbology''' of the original '''DEM''' layer.

|-
|| 05:59
|| Right-click on the '''srtm layer '''in the '''Layers''' Panel.

|-
|| 06:04
||From the context menu select '''Properties '''option.

|-
||06:09
|| '''Layer Properties''' dialog-box opens.

|-
|| 06:13
||Select '''Style''' from the left panel.

|-
||06:17
|| Under '''Band Rendering '''section, change the '''Render type '''to '''Singleband pseudocolor.'''

|-
|| 06:24
|| Under '''Load minimum/maximum values''', click on '''minimum/maximum '''radio button.

|-
||06:33
|| Select''' Linear''' from '''Interpolation '''drop-down.

|-
|| 06:37
||This is a default selection here.

From the '''Color '''drop-down select '''Spectral'''.

|-
|| 06:44
|| Scroll down.

Select '''Mode '''as '''Continuous '''from the drop down.

|-
|| 06:50
||Click on '''Classify '''button.

|-
||06:53
|| '''5''' new color values are created.

|-
|| 06:57
||The colors represent values of elevation of raster from lowest to highest.

|-
||07:04
||Click on '''Apply''' button and '''OK''' button at the bottom right corner.

|-
|| 07:10
|| In the '''Layers''' panel, disable the '''Hillshade''' layer .

|-
|| 07:14
||Uncheck the check-box against '''Hillshade''' layer.

|-
||07:18
||Now on the canvas you will see a map in spectral colors.

|-
||07:24
|| The red shaded terrain is least elevated and blue is most elevated.

|-
|| 07:30
||Enable the '''Hillshade layer'''.

|-
||07:33
|| Open the '''Layers Properties''' dialog-box.

|-
|| 07:37
|| Select '''Transparency''' from left panel.

|-
|| 07:41
|| Set the '''Global transparency''' to 50% by dragging the slider.

|-
||07:47
|| Click on '''Apply '''button and '''OK '''button.

|-
|| 07:51
|| Zoom in the map.

|-
|| 07:53
||On the canvas now we see an enhanced topography of the landscape.

|-
|| 08:00
|| Let us summarize,

|-
|| 08:03
||In this tutorial we have learnt to

Download '''DEM''' data from '''SRTM''' data website.

|-
|| 08:11
||Show Hillshade of '''DEM'''.

|-
|| 08:15
|| Here is the assignment.

|-
|| 08:17
|| Visualize the terrain using '''Slope''' mode for the raster map. Change the symbology for the '''Slope''' layer

|-
|| 08:27
|| Hint: Select the '''Mode''' as '''Slope''' and use it as overlay.

|-
||08:33
||Your completed assignment should look as shown here.
