Large scale DEM tiling for QGIS workflows
Tobias Velvang
In this talk we will show you how to make high resolution topography data easily accessible for you and your colleagues, in QGIS. The talk is based on the work we have done in Glint Solar to help solar developers find suitable sites for utility scale solar PV projects.
We will go over:
- How to turn DEM sources into slippy map tiles
- How to scale up tiling using AWS Batch
- How to make your tiles easily accessible in QGIS
By the end, you'll have the essential knowledge to create slope and elevation visualisations anywhere in your country with minimal hassle.
