This might turn out to be a newbie question, and that would be because I'm fairly new to GIS work, but extensive online searching, asking associates with some basic GIS knowledge and hours in various GIS software could not produce any results, thus I'm turning to the experts now.
The Problem:
I have a DEM in raster format, that is unfortunately not properly meta-referenced. In other words it has a legend where each color is assigned with the respective elevation, but no program I have could work with it. So what I think I need to do is, assign each color the respective elevation value and then turn it into a proper DEM to work with (the terminal result should be a *.XYZ file). But I don't really know how...
Programs I use(d):
- QGIS
- Global Mapper
- JOSM
- L3DT
The DEM file with and without legend:
- With Legend: Download (2 MB)
- Without Legend: Download (7 MB)
Any help/hints will be greatly appreciated!
