Note that the elevation-adding feature will erase any existing altitude data (for example, from a GPS) that might already be in your file. Often, this is desirable; profiles made with DEM data are usually "smoother" looking than GPS, and typically contain fewer gaps or suspicious readings. (Speaking of gaps, there are a few in NASA's SRTM data, and that's unavoidable. If GPS Visualizer runs into one of these, it will not overwrite those elevations in your input data.)
The Google Maps API is able to return elevations for points anywhere in the world; these are often (but not always) the same elevations you'd see in Google Earth. Google's data comes from a variety of sources and is sometimes more accurate than the SRTM databases.
The drawback is that there is a limit on the number of queries that can be performed in a day by each user, so GPS Visualizer cannot ask Google for all of your points. To get around this, GPS Visualizer hosts a JavaScript-based Elevation Lookup Utility that has your browser perform the queries. To use this tool, your data must be in simple tabular format (easily accomplished using GPSV's plain-text converter); you must remove any existing elevation data; and you must have your own Google Maps API Key. Further instructions are on the Elevation Lookup Utility page.
To use this free utility, simply enter coordinates in the box to the left, one per line, and click "Find elevations" to look up their elevations. If your data is in a tabular format with a descriptive header at the top of each column, choose "tabular" for type of data (and make sure the headers make sense!).
Note that any existing elevation information in your data will be preserved. if you want to completely overwrite the existing elevations, the quickest solution is to "hide" the altitude or elevation column by changing its header to something unrecognizable, like "zzz".
Many mapping sites provide an "API" -- a way for other programs to quickly and easily access their services. But they only allow a certain number of queries per day, based on your "key." This form uses JavaScript-On-Demand (JSON) code that causes your Web browser to be the one making the request (rather than gpsvisualizer.com's server).
I've noticed that when using Google Earth Pro I can see ground elevation data even in streams a few meters wide (different elevation values along the embankment and along the creek bed), while when I try to export the data by using the free service GPS Visualizer (GPS Visualizer), the elevation data that I see in Google Earth Pro seem not to correspond to Google ones.
In fact, when I import in QGIS the GPX file created with GPS Visualizer, the points near the stream, along the embankment and along the creek bed, have the same elevation value, while in Goole Earth Pro I can see different values of elevation in very small areas, even a few meters.
I thought GPS Visualizer referred to Google Earth data for elevation values. If not, how can I export the elevation from Google Earth Pro to process the point cloud with QGIS?If I look into GPS Visualizer elevation site (GPS Visualizer), I read in the bottom that "The Google Maps API is able to return elevations for points anywhere in the world; these are usually (but not always) the same elevations you'd see in Google Earth. Google's data comes from a variety of sources and is sometimes (but not always) more accurate than the SRTM databases." Does GPS Visualizer use Google Earth elevation data or other kind of data?
Edit: I've found this discussion very similar to mine, but without a real answer. The OCR solution doesn't satisfy me at all. I'd like to download/extract Google Earth Pro elevation data in a "standard and direct" way. Is it possible?
Since no one answered, I provided a fairly dirty but fairly automated solution using AutoIt and Capture2Txt, inspired by the discussion mentioned above (thanks to Adamski).I post a video of the script running. It moves automatically the mouse randomly inside a rectangle defined by user and executes Capture2Txt in a loop until user presses Esc button. It writes also in a file all the coordinates and elevation captured.
Clearly it is slow because it is necessary for Capture2Txt to capture the Google Earth coordinate and elevation text (note the black polygon that eliminates transparency and makes the ocr reading much better).As you can see in the video some coordinates skip and some points (of longitude) skip because of Capture2Txt's imperfect detection of the text. However for small areas (which can be set as desired by the user) this works. Then you have to check the decimal points of the coordinates, import into spreadsheet the output file and delete the columns you don't need (like m, 32T, etc..) and finally you can import into QGIS the file with elevation values as from Google Earth. If anyone is interested in this please write, also possibly to answer me on the GPS Visualizer issue.
Understanding your track's elevation changes, speed variations, and slope gradients is crucial for any outdoor enthusiast. With our new feature, you can visualize your GPS tracks in different ways through intuitive and interactive profiles. The elevation profile will show you the highs and lows of your route, the speed profile lets you analyze your speed change throughout the journey, and the slope profile reveals the steepness of the terrain you conquered.
Elevation refers to the height of a specific point from a DEM (digital elevation model) database. In Guru Maps we show elevation for the created routes or imported tracks without altitude data.
Disclaimer: Please note that this elevation flood map on its own is not sufficient for analysis of flood risk since there are many other factors involved. Surface runoff, flow diversion, land type etc. are also responsible for the flood coverage in addition to elevation. But this flood map should help in some extent in the following areas:
I'm looking to batch process 50,000+ 3D models. I need to capture depth maps from different angles. Using Open3D, How can I capture this information without launching the visualizer? In hopes of speeding up the process?
You can visualize your elevation (>73 m) and price per square foot (>$19,116.7) observations as the boundaries of regions in your scatterplot. Homes plotted in the green and blue regions would be in San Francisco and New York, respectively.
A digital elevation model (DEM) or digital surface model (DSM) is a 3D computer graphics representation of elevation data to represent terrain or overlaying objects, commonly of a planet, moon, or asteroid. A "global DEM" refers to a discrete global grid. DEMs are used often in geographic information systems (GIS), and are the most common basis for digitally produced relief maps. A digital terrain model (DTM) represents specifically the ground surface while DEM and DSM may represent tree top canopy or building roofs.
There is no universal usage of the terms digital elevation model (DEM), digital terrain model (DTM) and digital surface model (DSM) in scientific literature. In most cases the term digital surface model represents the earth's surface and includes all objects on it. In contrast to a DSM, the digital terrain model (DTM) represents the bare ground surface without any objects like plants and buildings (see the figure on the right).[3][4]
A DEM can be represented as a raster (a grid of squares, also known as a heightmap when representing elevation) or as a vector-based triangular irregular network (TIN).[13] The TIN DEM dataset is also referred to as a primary (measured) DEM, whereas the Raster DEM is referred to as a secondary (computed) DEM.[14] The DEM could be acquired through techniques such as photogrammetry, lidar, IfSAR or InSAR, land surveying, etc. (Li et al. 2005).
The digital elevation model itself consists of a matrix of numbers, but the data from a DEM is often rendered in visual form to make it understandable to humans. This visualization may be in the form of a contoured topographic map, or could use shading and false color assignment (or "pseudo-color") to render elevations as colors (for example, using green for the lowest elevations, shading to red, with white for the highest elevation.).
Visualizations are sometimes also done as oblique views, reconstructing a synthetic visual image of the terrain as it would appear looking down at an angle. In these oblique visualizations, elevations are sometimes scaled using "vertical exaggeration" in order to make subtle elevation differences more noticeable.[15] Some scientists,[16][17] however, object to vertical exaggeration as misleading the viewer about the true landscape.
Older methods of generating DEMs often involve interpolating digital contour maps that may have been produced by direct survey of the land surface. This method is still used in mountain areas, where interferometry is not always satisfactory. Note that contour line data or any other sampled elevation datasets (by GPS or ground survey) are not DEMs, but may be considered digital terrain models. A DEM implies that elevation is available continuously at each location in the study area.
One powerful technique for generating digital elevation models is interferometric synthetic aperture radar where two passes of a radar satellite (such as RADARSAT-1 or TerraSAR-X or Cosmo SkyMed), or a single pass if the satellite is equipped with two antennas (like the SRTM instrumentation), collect sufficient data to generate a digital elevation map tens of kilometers on a side with a resolution of around ten meters.[18] Other kinds of stereoscopic pairs can be employed using the digital image correlation method, where two optical images are acquired with different angles taken from the same pass of an airplane or an Earth Observation Satellite (such as the HRS instrument of SPOT5 or the VNIR band of ASTER).[19]
The SPOT 1 satellite (1986) provided the first usable elevation data for a sizeable portion of the planet's landmass, using two-pass stereoscopic correlation. Later, further data were provided by the European Remote-Sensing Satellite (ERS, 1991) using the same method, the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM, 2000) using single-pass SAR and the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER, 2000) instrumentation on the Terra satellite using double-pass stereo pairs.[19]
