Experiment No: 10: Title: "Data Conversion From Raster To Vector of Model Town Lahore Using Google Earth"

The document describes an experiment to convert raster and vector data of a model town in Lahore, Pakistan using Google Earth. The objective is to convert raster data to vector data. The procedure explains that vector data represents real-world features using points, lines, and polygons with attributes, while raster data uses a grid of pixels. It then describes rasterizing vector data by converting it to a raster format, and vectorizing raster data by converting pixels into vector features. The results state that the conversion from raster to vector data of the model town was completed using Google Earth.

EXPERIMENT No: 10

TITLE:
“DATA CONVERSION FROM RASTER TO VECTOR OF MODEL TOWN LAHORE USING GOOGLE
EARTH”
INTRODUCTION:
Rasterization) is the task of taking an image described in a vector graphics format (shapes) and
converting it into a raster image ( A series of pixels, dots or lines that when they come together
on a display, they recreate the image) Vectorization" (simplified) is the process of rewriting a
loop so that instead of processing a single element of an array N times, it processes (say) 4
elements of the array simultaneously N/4 times. Rasterization refers to converting vectors into
raster’s. While vectorization transforms rasters in vectors.

OBJECTIVE:
Data conversion from raster to vector of model town Lahore using Google earth.

PROCEDURE:

VECTOR DATA:
Vector data provide a way to represent real world features within the GIS environment. A
feature is anything you can see on the landscape. Imagine you are standing on the top of a hill.
Looking down you can see houses, roads, trees, rivers, and so on). Each one of these things
would be a feature when we represent them in a GIS Application. Vector features
have attributes, which consist of text or numerical information that describe the features.
Vector points are simple XY coordinates in space.

Polylines connect XY coordinates called vertices with paths.


Lastly, vector polygons are a set of closed vertices and paths.

RASTER DATA:

In its simplest form, a raster consists of a matrix of cells (or pixels) organized into rows
and columns (or a grid) where each cell contains a value representing information, such
as temperature. Rasters are digital aerial photographs, imagery from satellites, digital
pictures, or even scanned maps. Unlike vector data, Rasters are made up of pixels or grid
cells. Further to that, they are usually regularly spaced and square (but they don’t have to be)
and often look pixelated.
Rasterization: Convert Vector to Raster:

Unlike graphic editing software, it expects your raster’s and vectors to have a geographic coordinate
system. But really it has similar functionality to Adobe Photoshop or GIMP that you can perform for
rasterization and vectorization.

VECTORIZATION: CONVERT RASTER TO VECTOR

Let’s go in reverse this time and take a discrete raster and convert it to vector.

When we have a raster data set like our buildings layer, it’s a matter of adding it to QGIS. Here’s what
the raster buildings look like in the table of contents:

RESULTS:
Weconcluded that Conversion from raster to vector of model town Lahore using Google earth.

COMMENTS:
Hence Rasterization refers to converting vectors into rasters. While vectorization transforms rasters in
vectors.
