Thanks, Nikos!

"rast_buffer" is the "service" parameter, which is used for several actions
with the input raster bands. First of all, it identifies the width of
raster buffer zone for making the band mask; also it controls the
resolution of region during processing. It was gained experimentally with
the best value near 300 meters for Landsat 7 images (sounds not very
logical, I understand).

Does it start from the outer non-NULL pixels of the image for example?


Yes, the buffer start on the border of the band mask, but with the
significantly coarser region resolution. 10000

Can be expected almost anything, that's why the module needs some work to
make it more logical and more usable. I already started rewriting it in
Python, along the way I'll try to complement it  and fix some functions.
