Archaeology Images, LIDAR and more... |
Stephen Eastmead Archaeology Photographs and 3D Models |

This
124 page A4 pdf document should enable those involved in community
archaeology to start using a QGIS a geographical information system
(v2.14 or v2.18) to handle
their archaeology data and generate professional looking maps
for their reports, whilst at the same time learning how to process
the LIDAR data that is
freely available in the UK and elsewhere. LIDAR is processed as: 2D
greyscale images, 2D colour banded elevations and 3D greyscale
and colour banded elevation models.
Examples of the 3D models can be viewed here.
It covers using Open Source vector and raster maps and lots
more.
Students may find this a useful initial guide too. Whilst it uses archaeological data to demonstrate how you can use QGIS, it is equally applicable to other specialties and data sources. The Contents page can be read by scrolling down this page. All of the described procedures have been described for Windows 10 users, and a colleague has worked through the document using a MAC OS X computer. A number of MAC OS X alternative procedures are included. Copyright © Stephen Eastmead 2017-2018 Revision 4 of the QGIS-LIDAR guide released 24/02/2018
IMPORTANT: As of March 2018 QGIS have released version 3.0 which is a major revision. It is not recommended to use the QGIS-LIDAR Guide with QGIS 3.0 as there have been many changes to QGIS's appearance and perhaps functionality. There is no real advantage in using this release for LiDAR processing at this time. Version 3 onwards has a different user interface. Once you have got familiar with it then the processing step are much the same.
