Extracting Elevation Data from Google Earth

[@bedynamicacceptopportuniti3305]

One of the best GIS tutorial I have ever watched. Many thanks!

[@charlessutherland5572]

Concise, Clear and Topical. Excellent Tutorial. 5/5 !!!

[@geodeltalabs]

Thanks :)

[@wwjdenterprise]

Perfect and well articulated. As someone who only knew about generating contours using drone images, I have now learnt even much more from this. You have made my day and trimmed the long process of doing things thanks alot.

[@muzzammilrather4998]

Ur voice is amazing sir.....Clearly presented...

[@paulbabuak]

So amazed how there are endless possibilities in these softwares!!!!

[@geodeltalabs]

You are right! :)

[@bensfons]

Just so everyone is clear on this, you are NOT extracting the elevation data from Google Earth. The page in this vid uses the location of the points in the path and extracts the elevation data from a DEM model (most likely SRTM-3, though it depends on the location of your study). It says so in the paragraph just bellow where you upload the .kml file. I also tried this method, seeing that, for my area of study at least, the Google Earth topography model was more precise than the ALOS PALSAR data I have available (30x30 m RES, while in GE it seems to be 5x5 m or more from what I have measured). This means that: 1) Unless Google Earth uses a DEM with the same resolution as the one from where the web page extracts the elevation data, you won't be getting the same accuracy. 2)It's better to download the DEM from the source. (The best being the Alaska Satellite facility, mission ALOS-PALSAR and data processing level set to Terrain Corrected). 3)In some locations, Google has access to elevation data that isn't publicly available (like in my case), which allow them to generate super accurate/High RES terrain topography.

Thank you so much for the videos, help a lot, so sad I only have the basic license, I am getting stuck with the kriging...

[@terahantwi494]

Kriging may not be entirely ideal tool for the process, unless you want some areas extrapolated. You can simply use the density, spline, or (Thiessen polygon - Tin- slope - raster) for interpolation since contour productions works in such manner

[@ashikhan3912]

Please make video on zonal statistics.. I only understand you and no one else

[@amandiodasilva-m4i]

thank you so much! it's too help for extracting elevation-from East Timor

[@tamilarcgisuniversity]

Your video is amazing..

[@geodeltalabs]

Thanks

[@QuestforSimplicity]

Wow. Learning more with your tutorials.

[@oluyemisiolugbile5204]

Thank you very much for your patience in teaching and making your training very easy to follow. Please can we do the same in QGIS because I do not have Spatial analyst and all other extension tools in my version of ArcMap.

[@babugeorge7413]

Suuuper............. Thank you Sir

[@Benini916]

Hi! I'm using QGIS instead of ArcGIS. I also need to extract the contours for every 1 meter. Do you have another tutorial using QGIS instead? thanks!

[@Shivaganesh1357]

very helpful video for my research work .thanking you

[@kaywischkaemper4259]

You do an outstanding job of explaining!!

[@geodeltalabs]

Thanks :)

[@chakrabartibaishali9761]

Thank you so much

[@guicosta9330]

Hello. Great video. Ive watched your QGIS video and i was wondering if we can extract elevation data and use it in QGIS? Thanks!

[@StefanoVerugi]

I use SRTM plugin in QGIS, quality is basically the same but far more convenient to use

[@shivanikulshrestha7424]

please please.... make a video on Extracting Elevation Data using QGIS Thank you :)

[@armstrongpunneyasingam375]

Thanks. Useful one

[@sanjanac-wd8to]

I can see the altitude difference in the elevation profile, but when I export to KML or KMZ the elevations just shows zeros

[@edward05lan]

Thank you for sharing this...its so helpful and amazing thank you so much

[@doublealpha32]

Excellent

[@victortowoju8311]

I'm getting a bad map with this which I think is because of this: "Coordinates have measures: No" and I don't know why that is

[@DebdeepBhattacharyya99]

I do the same process but I faced a problem. when I open the attribute table it shows elevation is 0. what to do?

[@bensfons]

Can I make a grid of points, say, in QGIS, then import it to Google Earth and export it with the elevation data?

[@lesliethilow3011]

Wonderful tutorial!

How can we convert gpx file to shp in qgis 3?

[@turkeyphant]

I have a geotiff file with more accurate elevations than Google Earth. How can I make Google Earth use these data when exporting the .kml?

[@ihaseebmirza]

This was awesome! What if we want to generate elevation profiles for this whole area? How do we do that?

[@nikolamarkovic2740]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@mahamanoumar1802]

Thanks Sir quite helpful, please is it possible to use polygon while drawing a given area instead of lines?

[@VILISIPIDIST]

how to do the same with the seabed?

[@maciejstarzak2806]

Great job, man!!!

[@yox82ify]

How we add a 'lattice grid structure' to google earth as *.kml/*.kmz format? I mean If we create grid points that have equal distances both in -x and -y planes and import it to G. Earth, it can be easier and had higher resolution. I wonder do you know is there any toolbox or any method in ArcGIS to create a grid structure with equal intervals between the points in -xy plane?

[@peters5900]

Create raster with 20m resolution --> resize to area you want --> raster to point --> voila!

[@tamirattessema986]

Thank you! but can you get climate data on each elevation point?

[@dobosun10]

How does GPS visualiser work? I'm using QGIS which will accept KML files so why is it necessary to convert it to a text file? Is it that QGIS can't read the elevations values in the KML or does GPS visualiser add elevation data and then convert it to a text file?

[@WiseIbrahim]

Great video,how do ceate th using Q GIS

[@habimanajeanclaude4113]

Thank you the gourgeus tutorial and i need to know we can make these contour's section to produce a profile and save it in DWG Files that mean it can be used in CAD soft . thanks for your help .

[@doostalinawaz9612]

Cool, Thanks for the video. What if we need temporal elevation change of same area like current elevation vs 2015 elevation ? because in my study area dam and water ways are under construction and want to measure total excavation Area ?

[@8b_nurainirahzubir665]

have you get the solution.. i just need the answer because its related to my study. tq

[@mrallmighty8104]

No

[@qqh11]

Hello mate thx for ur efforts. Can I get a polygon shapefile by this way?

[@IvyGondwe]

Very helpful, thank you. Question: Why saving the point in KML and not KMZ?

[@RafaqatAli-we3hr]

i think , kmz contains vector elements i,e, points, vertices , coordinates (except z value), and kml contains raster elements i,e, z value

You are welcome

[@ibrahimalzahrani1854]

Thank you, what is the source of the altitude, terrain data in GoogleEarth?

[@geodeltalabs]

Hello there, Google Earth obtains its elevation data from a variety of sources, including SRTM, GTOPO30, and SRTM3. In addition to these sources, Google Earth also uses data from other sources, such as national mapping agencies, to supplement and improve the quality of its elevation data.

yes, its possible with QGIS as well

[@adampriohandono4664]

How can we extract bathymetri data, marine depth ?

[@geodeltalabs]

Data from google earth is not really suitable for that. Ideally, you would be looking for actual bathymetry data done using techniques such as depth sounding

Great video. Is there a way of taking the Google Earth elevation data for a small arear and covert in to a height map? maybe with some free software options? Looking to make height maps for small arear up 600 yards and less.

[@geodeltalabs]

Hi, I think you'd be better off downloading an SRTM Dem and using a free software like QGIS to make a height map, as it would be more accurate and convenient. You may find tutorials for both in the video list :)

[@sumitmondal548]

ARC map is a free and open application?

[@geodeltalabs]

No, it's a commercial product. The free and open source alternative to this is QGIS.

the lecture is very interesting I am attending attentively. I don't know what steps I lost; from the input (C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\20230127050417-44037-data.gpx) the output also comes (C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\ArcGIS\Default. dB\c2023012705041744037data_GPX). It would be very help full if you advise me know the mistake I did. In advance thank you so much.

[@jeanemmanuelyazou746]

Hi, great video and really enjoyed it. How do you get your elevation in feet? I see that your contours are in meters.

[@DAK4Blizzard]

It's too bad we didn't come up with a distance unit with respect to decimal degrees. We did come up with nautical miles, but that's with respect to a minute (1/60) arc degree length.

when I click search it shows me a list

nothing like that window shows up on Arcmap

[@Bo0meRs0]

This title is misleading. The elevation data is not being taken from google earth, the lat and lon is from google earth then the elevation is taken from another source.
