I am performing Raster-> Miscellaneous-> Merge tool using QGIS version 3.16.11 to merge approximately fourteen Landsat8 OLI images. These images are stacked using Bands2-7 and while create the mosaic of these images. The GDAL command output showing an error:

**GDAL command output:**
ERROR 6: D:/SatelliteData/Merge_data/LC08_Sindh_Mosaic2016.tif, band 1: SetColorTable() not supported for multi-sample TIFF files.

Any idea how we can resolve this issue. I am working on a landcover project. Can I go with the output as it is generated a raster with this error?

Here is the total log file of Merge:

    Using the merge tool you can only extend the geographic extents of rasters which have the same config. Do you want to sum up the bands too?

  • Yes I need to sum up the bands too as all these rasters have the same config

You can do this via a script:

1- Import the modules

2- Import the rasters

3- Get their band:

band_raster_1 = ds_raster_1.GetRasterBand(1)

band_raster_n = ds_raster_n.GetRasterBand(1)

and so on...

4 - then sum the bands together:

band_merged = band_raster_1 + band_raster_2 + band_raster_3 + ... + band_raster_n

And it's done.
