This tool can be used to find the average value in each cell of a grid from a set of input images (`inputs`). It is therefore similar to the weighted_sum tool except that each input image is given equal weighting. This tool operates on a cell-by-cell basis. Therefore, each of the input rasters must share the same number of rows and columns and spatial extent. An error will be issued if this is not the case. At least two input rasters are required to run this tool. Like each of the WhiteboxTools overlay tools, this tool has been optimized for parallel processing.
