The tiled gridded coverage GeoPackage extension allows 32 bit source data to be converted to a GeoPackage with 16 bit integer tiles in PNG format, and still retain a significant number of decimals. This is accomplished by calculating a scale and offset for each tile, so that every tile utilizes the full space of the UInt16 data type (0- 65536).
offset = min(tile)
scale = (max(tile) - min(tile)) / (2^16 - 2)
tile_png = (tile - offset) / scale
