How to calculate the area between contour lines on a DEM with QGIS 1.8?

Hiking & Activities

How do you find the area between two contours in Qgis?

You can use the Raster Calculator from the Raster menu. At the Raster Calculator use the following formula : (O44121a1@1 >= 3400 and O44121a1@1 <= 3500) . This will create a mask marking with 1 all the areas we're interested in. From Raster menu again, Select the Conversion->Polygonize tool.
 

How do you find the area between two contour lines?

You can open the attribute table and multiply the number of pixels with the pixel size. This will give you the area for a class (area between two contour lines).
 

How do you calculate contour area?

Quote from video: Like dam porn etc formula used for computing volume using prism model rule this H divided by 3 into a plus B plus square root of a B where H is the contour interval a is the area of lower contour.

How do you make contour lines from DEM Qgis?

Create Contours from DEM

  1. Go to Raster menu >> Extraction >> Contours.
  2. In the Contour window: enter your parameters: eg. 50 meter interval, save to file as a shapefile, geopackage, dxf, etc.

 

Can QGIS calculate area?

The $area command looks at your project properties and calculates the area based on how you have set up your QGIS project. The Final Example: Assuming your data (be it shapefile or Geopackage) is projected properly – you don’t have to set anything up in the QGIS Project properties.

What is the distance between contours on a map?

Quote from video:

How do you find the area of a shape in QGIS?

Quote from video: And click on run over here. So friend we can see the reprojected polygon save file.

How do you find the midpoint of a line in QGIS?

Run the Interpolate Point on Line function, and it will then create a point layer with a point at the midpoint of every line feature in the selected layer, and each midpoint will have the attributes of the original line feature copied over to it.
 

How do you show contour values in QGIS?

To add the contour lines we will open the “Raster” menu at the top and select “Extraction” and then “Contour”. The Input file will already be selected. Fill in a name for the “Output file for contour lines” and edit the “Interval between contour lines” to . 5 (or whatever you want).
