Introduction

QGIS is used to view the aerial image and elevation data of the model.

Method

Set up a workspace to contain aerial imagery and elevation data of the model in correct projection.

Set the Projection

  1. Set the projection of the workspace:
    • Go to Project > Properties.
    • In the CRS tab, type 'WGS 84 / UTM zone 60S'.
    • Select the matching projection in the 'Predefined Coordinate Reference Systems' section.
    • Click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
  2. Check that the projection is set correctly by viewing the bottom right hand corner of the workspace. It should read 'EPSG:32760'.



Aerial Image

  1. Bring in the Aerial, either:
    • From the Aerial_Photo folder, drag and drop the Aerial_Photo_M01.jpg file into the workspace; or
    • Select Layer > Add layer > Add Raster Layer and navigate to the Aerial_Photo folder.



Elevation Data

  1. Bring in the DEM, either:
    • From the DEM folder, drag and drop the DEM.tif file into the workspace; or
    • Select Layer > Add layer > Add Raster Layer and navigate to the DEM folder.
  2. Change the symbology of the DEM:
    • Right click on the DEM file in the Layers panel and select 'Properties'.
    • From the Symbology tab, under 'Band Rendering' select the following options:
    • Render type: Singleband pseudocolor
    • Color ramp: Spectral
    • Color ramp: Invert Color Ramp
    • Mode: Equal Interval
    • From the Transparency tab, set the Global Opacity to 75%.
    • Click 'Apply' and 'OK'.



  3. Include a Hillshade of the DEM:
    • Right click on the DEM file in the Layers panel and select 'Duplicate Layer'.
    • Right click on the DEM_copy and select 'Rename Layer'. Rename the layer to DEM_Hillshade.
    • Right click on the DEM_Hillshade file and select 'Properties'.
    • From the Symbology tab, under 'Band Rendering' select the following options:
    • Render type: Hillshade
    • Z Factor: 3
    • From the Transparency tab, set the Global Opacity to 35%.
    • Click 'Apply' and 'OK'.



Conclusion

  • The workspace was set up to contain an aerial image and DEM of the site in the correct projection.
