Raster data is made up of a grid of pixels and represents continuous data such as satellite imagery or aerial photographs, while vector data represents discrete geometries such as points, lines, and polygons and is used to represent features like roads, buildings, and boundaries.
Raster data is made up of a grid of pixels and represents continuous data, such as satellite images or digital photographs, while vector data uses mathematical points, lines, and shapes to represent features and can accurately represent both continuous and discrete data, like roads or boundaries.
