Raster Type Conversion

The RasterTypeConversion operator changes the data type of raster pixels.

Applying this conversion may cause precision loss. For example, converting F32 value 3.1 to U8 results in 3.

If a value is outside of the range of the target data type, it is clipped to the valid range of that type. For example, converting F32 value 300.0 to U8 results in 255.

Inputs

The RasterTypeConversion operator expects exactly one raster input.

Parameters
