Example of QGIS standard operating environment displaying raster files (DSM):

Nearmap’s Digital Surface Model (DSM) is an analytic-ready, raster data set to be consumed in common GIS software packages.

QGIS is a cross-platform, free and open-source software used all across the world. From academics to NGO, from small business to enterprise-level organisations, the growing adoption of open-data and communities makes QGIS a significant and worthy alternative to mainstream licensed software applications.
