Creating a polygon from all raster values >0 in QGIS?
Geographic Information Systems Asked on April 6, 2021
I have a raster layer with two values, 0 and 1. I want to create a polygon shape from all the 1 values.
I expected the "raster to vector" tool to achieve this, but this created another grid as a shapefile (i.e. every square of the raster became its own polygon).
Am I using the correct tool and/or the correct settings?
One Answer
You can use Menu Raster / Converstion / Vectorize raster layer (screenshot 1). On the output layer, apply Select Features by Expression… and insert "DN" = 0 to the expression editor (screenshot 2), thus selecting all polygons where the raster value is 0: these are the ones you want to delete. Now delete the selected features and you are left just with the polygons representing raster values = 1.
