Raster downsampling

Raster downsampling

- [Instructor] In real world spatial data projects, a common challenge is the integration of diverse datasets. These datasets may vary in geographic coverage, spatial resolution, data collection, methodology, and data structure. This means that they often come in both vector and raster formats, while the analytical pipelines typically require a unified format. Therefore, the ability to seamlessly convert between vector and raster data is an essential skill for effective and flexible spatial data analysis. In the following, we will explore how to apply this in practice starting by turning raster data into vector data. While the zonal statistics provides an easy way to map a raster grid into a vector data layer, now we will learn an atomized method to transfer any raster grid into its selector counterpart without the need for aggregation and the potential of information loss. However, since our original raster data contains nearly 150 million pixels or data points to make the later…
