24.1.9. Raster analysis

24.1.9.1. Cell statistics

Computes per-cell statistics based on input raster layers and for each cell writes the resulting statistics to an output raster. At each cell location, the output value is defined as a function of all overlaid cell values of the input rasters.

By default, a NoData cell in ANY of the input layers will result in a NoData cell in the output raster. If the Ignore NoData values option is checked, then NoData inputs will be ignored in the statistic calculation. This may result in NoData output for locations where all cells are NoData.

The Reference layer parameter specifies an existing raster layer to use as a reference when creating the output raster. The output raster will have the same extent, CRS, and pixel dimensions as this layer.

Calculation details: Input raster layers that do not match the cell size of the reference raster layer will be resampled using nearest neighbor resampling. The output raster data type will be set to the most complex data type present in the input datasets except when using the functions Mean, Standard deviation and Variance (data type is always Float32 or Float64 depending on input float type) or Count and Variety (data type is always Int32).

• Count: The count statistic will always result in the number of cells without NoData values at the current cell location.

• Median: If the number of input layers is even, the median will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two middle values of the ordered cell input values.

• Minority/Majority: If no unique minority or majority could be found, the result is NoData, except all input cell values are equal.

Fig. 24.8 Example with all the statistic functions. NoData cells (grey) are taken into account.

24.1.9.2. Equal to frequency

Evaluates on a cell-by-cell basis the frequency (number of times) the values of an input stack of rasters are equal to the value of a value layer. The output raster extent and resolution are defined by the input raster layer and is always of Int32 type.

If multiband rasters are used in the data raster stack, the algorithm will always perform the analysis on the first band of the rasters - use GDAL to use other bands in the analysis. The output NoData value can be set manually.

Fig. 24.9 For each cell in the output raster, the value represents the number of times that the corresponding cells in the list of rasters are the same as the value raster. NoData cells (grey) are taken into account.

24.1.9.14. Raster boolean OR

Calculates the boolean OR for a set of input rasters. If all of the input rasters have a zero value for a pixel, that pixel will be set to 0 in the output raster. If any of the input rasters have 1 values for the pixel it will be set to 1 in the output raster.

The reference layer parameter specifies an existing raster layer to use as a reference when creating the output raster. The output raster will have the same extent, CRS, and pixel dimensions as this layer.

By default, a nodata pixel in ANY of the input layers will result in a nodata pixel in the output raster. If the Treat nodata values as false option is checked, then nodata inputs will be treated the same as a 0 input value.

24.1.9.15. Raster calculator

Performs algebraic operations using raster layers.

The resulting layer will have its values computed according to an expression. The expression can contain numerical values, operators and references to any of the layers in the current project.

Muista

When using the calculator in The batch processing interface or from the QGIS Python console the files to use have to be specified. The corresponding layers are referred using the base name of the file (without the full path). For instance, if using a layer at path/to/my/rasterfile.tif, the first band of that layer will be referred as rasterfile.tif@1.

24.1.9.22. Rescale raster

Rescales raster layer to a new value range, while preserving the shape (distribution) of the raster’s histogram (pixel values). Input values are mapped using a linear interpolation from the source raster’s minimum and maximum pixel values to the destination minimum and miximum pixel range.

By default the algorithm preserves the original NODATA value, but there is an option to override it.

24.1.9.23. Round raster

Rounds the cell values of a raster dataset according to the specified number of decimals.

Alternatively, a negative number of decimal places may be used to round values to powers of a base n. For example, with a Base value n of 10 and Decimal places of -1, the algorithm rounds cell values to multiples of 10, -2 rounds to multiples of 100, and so on. Arbitrary base values may be chosen, the algorithm applies the same multiplicative principle. Rounding cell values to multiples of a base n may be used to generalize raster layers.

The algorithm preserves the data type of the input raster. Therefore byte/integer rasters can only be rounded to multiples of a base n, otherwise a warning is raised and the raster gets copied as byte/integer raster.
