Kriging Studio QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — Kriging Studio supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).
Kriging Studio is a comprehensive geostatistical interpolation tool for QGIS 4.x and Qt6. It enables users to perform Ordinary Kriging and Universal Kriging on point datasets, with support for regional linear and quadratic drift components. The plugin includes experimental and fitted variogram analysis with multiple configurable variogram models, anisotropy scaling and direction, and robust prediction workflows. Key features include: - Ordinary Kriging for spatial interpolation of point observations. - Universal Kriging with linear and quadratic regional drift. - Experimental variogram calculation and fitted variogram visualization. - Multiple variogram models, including spherical, exponential, Gaussian, linear, power, and hole-effect models. - Configurable anisotropy scaling and direction. - K-fold and leave-one-out cross-validation for model assessment. - Prediction variance and standard-error estimation for uncertainty analysis. - Optional polygon masking for restricting interpolation to a defined area. - High-performance local-neighbourhood and chunked prediction for large datasets and grids. - GeoTIFF raster generation with spatial reference, georeferencing, compression, and Float32 output. - Automatic generation of vector contour lines from kriging prediction rasters. - Optional automatic loading of generated raster and vector outputs directly into QGIS. - Automatic management of raster, variance, and contour outputs. - Progress reporting, cancellation support, and robust handling of large interpolation grids. - Automatic refresh of QGIS layers and numeric attribute fields. - Cross-validation diagnostics and configurable graph visualization. - Multilingual Qt translation support. - Native QGIS 4.x and Qt6 support. - Requires NumPy for numerical calculations, matrix operations, vectorized processing, and interpolation grid generation, and SciPy for variogram fitting, numerical optimization, and efficient spatial-distance calculations..
