Elevation raster data

“

- [Instructor] After extracting the population level raster data of Germany, we are going to include the Germany level elevation information in the raster format as well. Shortly, in this video, we will read and explore the Germany level elevation raster, which we acquired in the first chapter of this course, and we will learn how to combine it with the population raster grid. Here, again, we are going to use the usual libraries, so please just copy and paste your previous imports. First, let's define the input raster data containing pixel-level elevation information about Germany. Now, we read in this file and compute a few basic statistical descriptors of the raster grid in order to roughly explore and understand the content of the file. Again, this is also a single-band raster data. Now, let's have a quick view on this information starting by the profile. Here, we can see that we are dealing with a GTiff file. Here now, we have 16-bit integer numbers with a width of 13,000 pixels…
