# Raster Conversion

Convert raster datasets between formats and data types.

## Overview

Raster conversion transforms raster datasets between different formats, data types, and projections.

## Inputs

- **Raster Dataset**: Raster dataset to convert
- **Output Format**: Target format
- **Data Type**: Target data type
- **Projection** (optional): Target projection

## Outputs

New raster dataset with:

- Converted format
- Specified data type
- Projected coordinates (if specified)

## Example

```json
{
  "raster_dataset_id": 125,
  "output_format": "GeoTIFF",
  "data_type": "Float32"
}
```

## Use Cases

- Format conversion
- Data type optimization
- Projection transformation
- Compatibility preparation

## Notes

- Data type conversion may affect values
- Projection transformation requires resampling
- Large rasters may take time to process
- Output format affects file size
