Data for this workshop
• Install plugin “QuickOSM”
Download OSM
Geo-referencer
Input ground
control point
location ( need
at least 4 points
and RMS error
should be very
less )
• Select shapefile types ( Point, line, polygon)
• You also can manage your field here or later
(depends on your objective)
Please create active fault in Ube city
Create Shapefile
create active

Raster terrain analysis
• Calculates the hillshade raster layer given a Digital Terrain Model in input.
• The shading of the layer is calculated according to the sun position: you have the options to change both
the horizontal angle (azimuth) and the vertical angle (sun elevation) of the sun.

The hillshade layer contains values from 0 (complete shadow) to 255 (complete sun).
Hillshade is used usually to better understand the relief of the area.
Hillshade
• Calculates the aspect of the Digital Terrain Model in input. The final aspect raster layer
contains values from 0 to 360 that express the slope direction: starting from North (0°)
and continuing clockwise.

Aspect
• Calculates the slope from an input raster layer. The slope is the angle of inclination of
the terrain and is expressed in degrees.
