Geospatial raster data is a heavily used product in Geographic Information Systems and
|

Photogrammetry. Raster data typically can represent imagery and Digital Elevation Models (DEM). The
|

standard library for loading GIS imagery is the Geographic Data Abstraction Library (GDAL). In this

standard library for loading GIS imagery is the Geographic Data Abstraction Library [(GDAL)](http://www.gdal.org). In this
|

example, we will show techniques for loading GIS raster formats using native OpenCV functions. In

addition, we will show some an example of how OpenCV can use this data for novel and interesting

purposes.

- How to use OpenCV imread to load satellite imagery.

- How to use OpenCV imread to load SRTM Digital Elevation Models

- How to use OpenCV [imread](@ref imread) to load satellite imagery.

- Given the corner coordinates of both the image and DEM, correllate the elevation data to the

image to find elevations for each pixel.

- Show a basic, easy-to-implement example of a terrain heat map.
