      - select:          Select a subset of bands from a raster dataset.
      - set-type:        Modify the data type of bands of a raster dataset.
      - sieve:           Remove small polygons from a raster dataset.
      - slope:           Generate a slope map
      - stack:           Combine together input bands into a multi-band output, either virtual (VRT) or materialized.
      - tile:            Generate tiles in separate files from a raster dataset.
      - tpi:             Generate a Topographic Position Index (TPI) map
      - tri:             Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map
      - unscale:         Convert scaled values of a raster dataset into unscaled values.
      - update:          Update the destination raster with the content of the input one.
      - viewshed:        Compute the viewshed of a raster dataset.
