The algorithm id is displayed when you hover over the algorithm in the Processing Toolbox. The parameter dictionary provides the parameter NAMEs and values. See Using processing algorithms from the console for details on how to run processing algorithms from the Python console.

24.2.2.2. PCT to RGB

Converts an 8 bit paletted image to a 24 bit RGB. It will convert a pseudocolor band from the input file to an RGB file of the desired format.

This algorithm is derived from the GDAL pct2rgb utility.

24.2.2.3. Polygonize (raster to vector)

Creates vector polygons for all connected regions of pixels in the raster sharing a common pixel value. Each polygon is created with an attribute indicating the pixel value of that polygon.

This algorithm is derived from the GDAL polygonize utility.

24.2.2.4. Rearrange bands

Creates a new raster using selected band(s) from a given raster layer. The algorithm also makes it possible to reorder the bands for the newly-created raster.

This algorithm is derived from the GDAL translate utility.

Label	Име	Тип	Описание
Input layer	INPUT	[raster]	Input raster layer
Selected band(s)	BANDS	[raster band] [list] Default: None	Ordered list of the bands to use to create the new raster
Additional creation options Optional	OPTIONS	[string] Default: ‚‘	For adding one or more creation options that control the raster to be created (colors, block size, file compression…). For convenience, you can rely on predefined profiles (see GDAL driver options section). For Batch Process: separate multiple options with a pipe character (|).
Output data type	DATA_TYPE	[enumeration] Default: 0	Defines the data type of the output raster file. Options: 0 — Use Input Layer Data Type 1 — Byte 2 — Int16 3 — UInt16 4 — UInt32 5 — Int32 6 — Float32 7 — Float64 8 — CInt16 9 — CInt32 10 — CFloat32 11 — CFloat64

24.2.2.5. RGB to PCT

Converts a 24 bit RGB image into a 8 bit paletted. Computes an optimal pseudo-color table for the given RGB-image using a median cut algorithm on a downsampled RGB histogram. Then it converts the image into a pseudo-colored image using the color table. This conversion utilizes Floyd-Steinberg dithering (error diffusion) to maximize output image visual quality.

If you want to classify a raster map and want to reduce the number of classes it can be helpful to downsample your image with this algorithm before.

This algorithm is derived from the GDAL rgb2pct utility.
