I am trying to convert a GeoTiff file to ASCII format. After conversion I am getting all pixel values in ASCII file to be NoData value. How can I get the pixel values in ASCII file? Pixel values however are being shown while viewing the raster file in QGIS

Please describe how you did the conversion. Gdalinfo from the source image would be useful as well.user30184– user301842016年10月05日 14:38:32 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2016 at 14:38

I used Raster-> Conversion->Translate-> in QGIS. After which a window appeared where I entered the name of output file and pressed OKuser83835– user838352016年10月06日 04:51:45 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 4:51

Tell something about the original GeoTIFF.user30184– user301842016年10月06日 05:11:02 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 5:11

It was created by taking aerial photos at several locations of an experimental setup and then processed using image processing techniques (DigiCAM) most probably. The thing is that pixel values are appearing while viewing the raster (GeoTIF) file in QGIS but are not appearing in the ascii file.user83835– user838352016年10月06日 11:32:15 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 11:32

By ascii file, which format do you actually mean? There are different drivers for ASCII gridded XYZ, Arc/Info ASCII grid, Golden Software ASCII grid, and USGS Optional ASCII DEM. What is common for all these is that they support only one band. Your aerial photos are probably color photos, how did the select the band to write into ASCII?user30184– user301842016年10月06日 12:24:47 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 12:24

You could use gdal_translate to convert your GeoTiff to ASCII (XYZ) format. The following example illustrates this point:
gdal_translate -of XYZ dtm_clip.tif dtm_clip.asc
The output will contain a line for each pixel coordinate (x,y) and its associated pixel value (z). E.g.

When I did as you said, all pixel values side of coordinate points are coming with nodata value...user83835– user838352016年10月06日 04:27:29 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 4:27

Can you print the output from gdalinfo and/or share a sample of the file you are trying to convert?dmci– dmci2016年10月06日 08:16:45 +00:00Commented Oct 6, 2016 at 8:16

Below is sample of output. The last column is actually nodata value and pixel values are missinguser83835– user838352016年10月08日 03:48:28 +00:00Commented Oct 8, 2016 at 3:48

Using the plugin pointSamplingTool could be a solution
Convert raster to a vector point layer, then export the shape file to ascii.
