# Raster Summary

Generate summary statistics for raster datasets.

## Overview

Raster summary calculates comprehensive statistics (min, max, mean, stddev, etc.) for raster datasets.

## Inputs

- **Raster Dataset**: Raster dataset to analyze
- **Band** (optional): Band to analyze (default: all bands)

## Outputs

Summary statistics containing:

- Minimum value
- Maximum value
- Mean value
- Standard deviation
- NoData count
- Valid pixel count

## Example

```json
{
  "raster_dataset_id": 125,
  "band": 1
}
```

## Use Cases

- Data quality assessment
- Value range identification
- Statistics reporting
- Data exploration

## Notes

- NoData values excluded
- Statistics calculated for valid pixels only
- Large rasters may take time to process
- Results depend on raster data type
