Description

When reprojecting large images, we may run into memory issues for storing the corners or centers of all pixels, so we should have a way to project chunk by chunk (for all reprojection methods)

Contributor guide

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; begin by locating all reprojection methods and tracing where per-pixel corners or centers are allocated. Done means every reprojection method can process large images chunk by chunk without requiring arrays for all pixels at once.
