GDAL-RASTER-AS-FEATURES(1) GDAL GDAL-RASTER-AS-FEATURES(1) (NAME) gdal-raster-as-features - 3.12 . (SYNOPSIS) Usage: gdal raster as-features [OPTIONS] Create features from pixels of a raster dataset Positional arguments: -i, --input Input raster datasets [required] [not available in pipelines] -o, --output Output vector dataset [required] [not available in pipelines] Common Options: -h, --help Display help message and exit --json-usage Display usage as JSON document and exit --config = Configuration option [may be repeated] Options: -f, --of, --format, --output-format Output format ("GDALG" allowed) [not available in pipelines] --co, --creation-option = Creation option [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] --lco, --layer-creation-option = Layer creation option [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] --overwrite Whether overwriting existing output dataset is allowed [not available in pipelines] --update Whether to open existing dataset in update mode [not available in pipelines] --overwrite-layer Whether overwriting existing output layer is allowed [not available in pipelines] --append Whether appending to existing layer is allowed [not available in pipelines] --output-layer Output layer name [not available in pipelines] -b, --band Input band(s) (1-based index) [may be repeated] --geometry-type Geometry type. GEOMETRY-TYPE=none|point|polygon (default: none) --skip-nodata Omit NoData pixels from the result --include-xy Include fields for cell center coordinates --include-row-col Include columns for row and column Advanced Options: --if, --input-format Input formats [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] --oo, --open-option = Open options [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] --output-oo, --output-open-option = Output open options [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] (DESCRIPTION) gdal raster as-features .
